London, May 10.
In their second innings, Lord Sheffield’s team knocked up the required runs with the loss of two wickets. The scores were : Grace, b Turner Shrewsbury, c Graham, b Gtffen ... 23 Bead, not out... 1^ Extras 5 Total 56 Bowling Analysis - Giffen, 1 for 25, Turner, 1 for 15, Ooningbam, 0 for 11. The batting of the Australian eleven was disappointing, especially as the wicket was in excellent condition. Coningham s dashing play and Blackham’a wicketkeeping were the redeeming features The play of the new men in the team justified their inclusion. Both sides needed practice. Lord Sheffield expressed delight at the general form of the visitors, but thinks it is premature to express an opinion on the character of the tour. The Sportsman considers the Australians were unable to play Lockwood’s fast bowling. The Sporting Life considers the batting of the team of a very ordinary character.
