THE AUSTRALIANS IN ENGLAND.

THE WARWICKSHIRE MATOH.

In contrast to the batting displayed by the colonists in their first match, their effort against Warwickshire, at Birmingham, on May 12, was a very feeble one. To a certain extent this may be accounted for by the soft wicket, which a warm sun did not improve. During the four hours and five minutes over which play aotually extended, 20 wiokets fell for an aggregate of 127 runs, Little can be said of the day's cricket, which was tame throughout, no change in the attaok being deemed necessary in either innings, and had the chances offered been taken the totals would have been still smaller. On the seaond day the wicket was in a treacherous condition, and though the batsmen played cautiously there was little run -getting. The Cornstalks increased the advantage they bad obtained on the former day, and won by 132 runs, the totals of the county's two innings only reaching the total of the Australians' first venture. Scores :—: — Australians.
