AUSTRALIAN TEAM

DERBYSHIRE MATCH COUNTY THREE WICKETS FOR 34 HORNIBROOK AGAIN (United Press Assn.—l3y Telegraph—Copyright) (Rec. 1.15 a.m.) London, May 21. Chesterfield was in an atmosphere resembling a country show rather than a first class cricket match when the Australians commenced a game against Derbyshire at Queen’s Park this morning. The ground is approached through delightful gardens. Jackson (Derbyshire) won, the toss and decided to bat on a slow wicket. The weather was fine, but mostly dull. The outfield was damp, arid slow. Wall and Fairfax opened the bowling. The teams are as follows: Australia: Richardson, Kippax, Bradman, Fairfax, Jackson, Ponsford, McCabe, Oldfield, Hornibrook, Wall, Hurwood. Derbyshire: G. R. Jackson (captain), N. M. Ford, Storer, Lee, Aiderman, Worthington, Hutchinson, Townsend, Slatter, Elliott, Mitchell. Following were the scores at the luncheon adjournment:— DERBYSHIRE. First Innings. Lee b Hornibrook .. 14 Storer not out 19 Aiderman b Hornibrook 0 Slatter c Fairfax b Hornibrook .... 0 Extras 1 Total for three wickets 34 A DRAWN GAME AUSTRALIA v. M.C.C. JACKSON MAKES 64. London, May 20. As only five minutes remained after the Australians’ depressing innings had ended Marylebone did not bat again. Play was resumed at. one o’clock. The slippery ball hampered the bowlers, and the attack was entrusted to the slow bowlers, Stevens and Peebles.

Jackson continued to bat attractively though he was dropped on the boundary' when 38. The conditions after lunch still favoured the batsmen. > Jackson reached his first 50 of the tour, hitting Peebles for six. Shortly afterwards he cut the ball hard to Hendren at short slip.

Kippax and Ponsford batted confidently 'before they gave easy catches. Richardson was shaky from the start. Grimmett’s wicket was shattered after a ’vigorous innings. Then Allen also bowled Wall, but interest had vanished from the match which, like the previous fixture, was interesting for two days and then ended tamely. Fairfax nevertheless batted as though his side was in a desperate position. Mr P. F. Warner says that the match leaves an impression that the Australian batsmen have not yet run into true form, and that they are weaker after the first six than any Australian eleven for a great many years. ‘'Their bowling,” he continues, “is better than I have seen in all the bowling at the wicket. At present I am most optimistic that England will win the rubber, but the visitors are improving daily.” Colonel Trevor says that the Australians made quite a good impression on their first appearance at Lord’s and tlPat two of the four bowlers created a pleasant surprise. The wicket-keeping was first class, and the fielding good. Following are the scores:— M.C.C. First Innings 258 AUSTRALIA. First Innings 255 Second Innings.
