QUEENSLAND LEADING

A SUBSTANTIAL MARGIN ENGLISHMEN’S DULL CRICKET. SPECTATORS DISAPPOINTED. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Rec. 5.5 p.m. Brisbane, Dec. 1. The cricket match between Queensland and England was resumed yesterday. Hornibrook and Hubbard in a sound partnership made the Queensland tail wag, and the innings ended at the luncheon adjournment. Gilligan and Dawson opened cautiously for England, but later the captain hit out. The fielding was always smart and the bowling kept the batsmen defending. Duleepsinhji was never comfortable and a good ball from Oxenham beat him. Ducat was out to a brilliant catch. The- play yesterday was dull compared with the bright display on Friday. The crowd was disappointed at the early dismissal of the Indian after his brilliant first innings. Turnbull and Nichols livened the game for a while, but did not last long. Oxenham had two for 17 when he got Nichols leg before wicket. Turnbull went soon afterwards.

J England’s position appeared hopeless when six wickets were down for 135 and the play was then dead slow. The i crowd ironically cheered singles. Worth- , ington was 30 minutes in opening his score, but lie and Legge played out time ' in spite of frequent bowling changes. Scores: — ENGLAND. First Innings 171 Second Innings.
