THE AUSTIRALIAN CRICKETERS.
Press Association.—Electric/Telegraph.— London, June 15. The Marylcbone Club entertained the Australian team at dinner. The Agents-General were present. Lord Carringtou, in proposing the health of the latter, said Australia possessed boundless resources, whloh justified hopes of coming prosperity when the present crisis had passed away. The South of England won the toss against the Australians, and going in first scored 805. Blackham, Giffen, and Jarvis are standing out. The team is weakened by the absence of both wicket-keepers. Grace, captain of the South of England eleven, will allow Blackham or Jarvis to take his place when recovered. Gregory is acting as substitute meanwhile. Later. The weather experienced for the opening day of the match South of England v. Australians was hot and sultry, and the wicket was very lively. The following are the scores in the first innings of the South of England : —Grace, 60; Douglas, 9; Alex. Hearne, 120$ W. Read,;»; L. Wilson. 15: Runjeet Singh, 3 Wells, 12; Gay, 12 Brockwell, 1; March, not out, 11; Richardson, 0; sundries, 20: total, 305. Trumble took three wickets for 72 Trott, two for 38; McLeod, two for 49; Turner, two for 89. Hearne's was a fine, though lucky, innings. lie was missed twice, and played several dangerous strokes. The fielding of the colonials was not as good as usual, and several overthrows were scored. The Australians have lost three wickets for 41—Lyons, 3; Bannerman, 21; Trott, 15. Lyons was caught on the boundary off a straight drive. Latest. The bowling of the Australian cricket team is regarded as disappointing, and experts do not think they will improve during tho tour. More was expected from Turner in this department of the game. The fielding of the team has often been of a brilliant description, and the batting has been fair, but uneven.. It is generally believed that the team will be a decidedly unequal match for tho Combined English Eleven. ■iI i m
