ENGLISHMEN START WELL.
A BIG SCORE. SOUTH AUSTRALIA FAIL. Electric Telegraph—Press Association. , • Oopyrinht. Adelaide, Last Night. Cricket was resumed in glorious weather on Saturday, and the attendance was nearly live thousand. Warner (112) and Foster (34) faced the bowling of Wlntty and Crawford. Runs came at the rate of one per minute. Foster began quietly, but when settled down scored rapidly with charming wristy strokes, and completed fifty for an hour’s play. When in the eighties Foster was missed three times, at 80 off a behind the wicket-keeper, which Rees misjudged; at 82 at long-on by Mayne, and at 87 at square-leg by Down. Warner completed 150 in 93 minutes, and a little later was bowled. He played an extremely sound and watchful game. He hit twelve fours. Foster, when 99, should have been run out. He got his century in 107 minutes. When at 131 he skied Whitty to mid-on, but Crawford lost it in the sun. With the score at 508 Foster was bowled. He hit with great wrist power and made eighteen fours, but it was a lucky innings. Sfcrudwick played a lively inningn, and was caught at -mid-off. Mayne and Stirling began the local innings to Foster’s and Barnes’s bowling. With two up Stirling was run out through a smart return by Hobbs. When one run more had been made Foster bowled Mayne with a swepver. Crawford was run out in trying to steal a run. Hill, batting soundly, and Down played out time. Scores:— ENGLISHMEN.—First Innings.
