THE TEST MATCH.
SENSATION OF THE DAY. GILLIGAN’S PERFORMANCE. (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) (Received June 17, 1.5 p.m.) LONDON, June 16. Gilligan’s astonishing performance in the test match was the sensation not only of the day. but of the season. His pace was bewildering after the dead wickets of recent weeks. Taylor, who opened the innings, did! hot receive a. ball until the fifth batsman appeared. Gilligan sent down three no-balls, and after each secured a wicket which recalled the old Yorkshire saying “After a wide, a wicket.” The South Africans persisted in playing hack to deliveries closely resembling half-volleys. Gilligan twice took two wickets with successive balls. Tate was fully equal to his captain though the figures are less sensational. His length was perfect, and his continually varied' deliveries disconcerted the South Africans. In the second innings Coinmaille played with the purpose of wearing the bowling. He was dour doggedness personified. The rest batted excellently, though Catterall was nervous.
