MELBOURNE v. ASHBURTON. VISITORS SHOW SUPERIOR FORM. Press Association. ASHBURTON, January 15. A South Melbourne eleven commenced a two-days’ match against an Ashburton county fifteen (only eleven of whom are fielding) this morning. The weather was hot all day. The pitch on the Domain oval was an excellent one, and the outfield was in splendid order. Ashburton won the toss, and going in first put together a total of 212 runs in 221 minutes, the innings closing shortly after 4 o’clock. The visitors had 90 minutes at the wickets before the overnight adjournment, and compiled 152 runs for the loss of three wickets. The bowling of the visitors was uniformly good, though not at all outstanding, but their fielding was decidedly smart. Of the Ashburton team Bannehcr (60) and Fryer (48, not out) were the most successful batsmen. The former gave a very difficult chance before ho was set, and a less difficult one which Trott failed to manipulate, but apart from this he played a careful and attractive game. His score included nine 4’a. Fryer, who came on after the attack had been somewhat worn down, gave a good exhibition of hard hitting, placing well and allowing no chances. His figures included one 6 and nine 4’e.

Scott and Kyle were the most difficult bowlers, both relying a good deal on the off theory and placing four or five men in the slips. The former secured tea wickets for 76 runs. After the tea adjournment South Melbourne showed the relative weakness of the local bowling, and punished all loose stuff severely. The local fielding was poor, and. runs came freely. The first wicket fell at 45, when McCormack was neatly caught behind the wickets off Cusden. Purvis gave an attractive display, driving and pulling all round the wicket, hie score including ten As, while Giller also slogged freely. Gulden, who got the length better in the last half hour, dismissed Purvis at ten minutes to 6, and Deas on the strike of the hour. Scores: 'ASHBURTON.— First Innings. H. Watters, b Kyle «... 10 C. A.
