The first match between the above teams commenced on Wednesday. The day was a glorious one, and the wicket (asphalt and matting) was all in favour of the batsmen. Both elevens had their fall strength, and onlookers naturally anticipated a good display, in which they were not disappointed. Best and Grindlay opened for the I.C.C. —Taylor and Findlay the attacking party. Both batsmen soon got lo work, bringing about several changes in the bowling. They carried the score to 71 before Grindlay was bowled. Burnes joined Best, and the score was taken to 126 before the former was beaten by Turner. Bowden succeeded Best, who, shortly after skied one into Kane’s hands, and retired with 66 runs against his name. ‘Jock’ played sound cricket, his strokes being crisp and clean, while on the leg side secured a good share of the loose ones, Purdue joined Howden ; daring their partnership about 30 runs more were added. Coming up the rear Rodgers and Dalrymple helped to enlarge the score, and the innings closed for 212. I.C.C. XL
