Cricket.
In the third test match between the Australians and Stoddart’s English Eleven, the former, continuing their second innings, were not disposed of till they had entered the fifth century, the innings closing for 411 runs. Bruce made 80, A. E. Trott (not out) 72, Iredale 140. A. Trott carried out his bai both innings. This left the Englishmen to get 526 to win, but they were only equal to 148. Albert Trott was the hero of the match, for besides contributing 110 runs, he accomplished the unprecedented feat, in first-class cricket, of capturing eight wickets for 43 runs, and when five men like Phillipson, Brown, Peel, Briggs, and Lockwood can only aggregate four runs between them, the deadly nature of the young Victorian’s bowling becomes apparent. Iredale’s innings of 140 is described as a magnificent exposition of the game, and the New South Welshman received an ovation never heard before in the South Australian capital. The Aus. traliaus thus won the match by 882 runs.
