Rains during the early morning made the pitch very soft, and the umpires decided to postpone play till a-quarter past two p.m. It remained dry all the morning, but as Tyldesley and Braund resumed play light showers fell. Trumble and Noble were bowling. Tyldesley commenced by playing Trumble to leg for four, and added another couple when Trumpet- caught him at short leg. He was three hours twentyeight- minutes at the wickets. His score included eight fourers. Six wickets for 156. '") ■ Jones was the next, but- the wicket was very dead. Braund made the most of every chance, and scored quickly, but made an uppish hit, and* Darling reached and held it. Seven wickets for 173. Gunn made a couple, and was then caught at mid-oii by Jones. Barnes came in time to see Jones caught by Darling. Blytlie had a similar experience, for Barnes spooned one softly back to. Trumble. The Australians won by 229 runs. Trumble took three wickets in succession. The following are the scores: — Australia,.first innings ... 112 England, first innings ... 61 Australia, second innings ... ... 553 ENGLAND.—Second Innings.

Public interest in the cricket situation yesterday may be gauged from the fact that just on 17,000 witnessed the match. The line display by the colts, Duff ' and Armstrong. raised enthusiasm to a high pitch. The pair had a chance each at the wicket otherwise their innings were faultless'. Itwas a record for the last wicket in. test matches. Duff's work stamps him as a batsman of rare skill. He made excellentuse of opportunity to justify his selection. With public opinion strongly opposed to his inclusion, there was a condition calculated to try the nerves of the stoutest, but lie showed his possession of the characteristics necessary to make a. great cricketer. Armstrong, too, showed splendid form, and it will be hard to leave, either out of the Australian team for the next English, tour. Disaster came in the first few minutes for the Englishmen. Tyldesley's stand was of great service. He gave a fair exhibition of his batting skill, although on the defensive. When one compares the fine stand Maclaren and Hayward made in Sydney with the dissolution of the partnership here for a couple of runs, the uncertainty of cricket is once more demonstrated. Noble's present form is marvellous, and batsmen agree that his swerve' in the air is one of the most difficult things they have ever had to combat. / \ ■ THE FEELING IN SYDNEY. Sfdney, January 4. The betting strong]*' favours the chances of the Australians nulling off the match today. The Daily Telegraph advocates leaving the final selection of the team in future tests till the morning of the match.
