ALL TEN WICKETS

GRIMMETT’S GREAT FEAT

YORKSHIRE IN TROUBLE

SIDE DISMISSED CHEAPLY

AUSTRALIA BEGINS WELL By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Rec. 5.5 p.m. London, May 10. The' Australian cricketers made their first North Country appearance at Bramall Lane Ground. Sheffield, the best appointed field yet seen by the tourists, though set amidst grim, manufacturing surroundings. A large section of the outfield was hard and graceless as the result of football. The sun filtered through: a. smoke pall, though 'the; .weather was much warmer than during the Essex match. Despite a slight frost in the morning after light rain yesterday the wicket was good, but rain interrupted play in the afternoon and stumps were drawn at 6.15 owing to bad light. The Australian selectors; omitted Jackson, Fairfax, Oldfield and Hurwood. Barber, last year’s Oxford ■.University captain, won the toss and sent his men in. The wicket seemed slow and easy. Holmes and 1 Sutcliffe played lively cricket, scoring freely off Wall and Hornibrook, though a’Beckett sent down a couple of successive maiden overs. The damp wicket became cut up, the bats-: men repeatedly patting uneven portions. As the umpires’ names were Oates and Beet the agricultural; flavour of the. proceedings was heightened. A’Bcckett’s good length quietened the batsmen. Grimmett came on and only five runs, including a. four off a’Beckett, were scored in five overs, Fifty appeared for 70 minutes, with the position 1 looking black for Australia. Grimmettkept one unexpectedly low to the off, and Holmes, changing his stroke, edged; the ball into the wicket. It was the. last of the over. ?

SUTCLIFFE EXUBERANT.

Sutcliffe continued exuberantly and got 50 in 100 minutes. He then steadied but gave the Australians a taste of real batsmanship till he played forward to a beautiful ball from Grimmett, Walker snapping it up neatly. His score included nine fours and two sixes, and he batted for 125 minutes. When the Grimmett-Walker combination dismissed Barber the crowd roared disapproval, and real Yorksirc barracking began, “howzatting” almost every Ball. Grimmett “disposed of the other batsmen in short order, finishing up by making Wood cock an easy one to Richardson at silly mid-off and then taking Bowes’ leg bail next ball. The team rushed to congratulate the bowler on his feat in taking all ten wickets, and the crowd stood up and cheered. His full analysis was: 22.3 overs, eight maidens, 37 runs, ten wicKets. On the previous tour he took six for* 87 agaipst Yorkshire. . The Australians began their innings at 4.6' p.m.x A little later misty ram set in. Ponsford played across to one from Robinson when he seemed well set. Bradman received an ovation on taking the field. When the tea adjournment came ram fell steadily, but the game was resumed 1 at 6 o’clock in a very, poor light; Everybody had now left the ground, and after a quarter of. an hour’s uneventful play an appeal against bad light was. allowed and stumps were drawn Bradman "was confident and even aggressive when facing Rhodes. —

PRAISE FOR HORNIBROOK

COMMENT ON NEW BOWLERS

Loudon, May 9.

The Daily Mail says: “Hornibrook’s success must be a happy omen for the Australian authorities. He is one of the many new men they included in a spirit of bold experiment, which all cricket lovers admire.”

The Times says: “Hornibrook had nothing terrific to do, but has the manner of a good bowler, resulting in a better opinion of the Australian attack. Fairfax bowled well, as he must do when assisted by the pitch. He might well have taken more wickets.” Colonel Philip Trevor says: ‘‘Hornibrook was practically unplayable. He is wise enough bo pitch the ball up. He made the most of his height and changed his pace without change in his'action,” Hurwood has still not takdn a wicket, but so little use has been made of the Queenslander thus far that it is impossible to judge liis capacity. It seemed strange at Leyton that Woodfull should have persisted with a’Bcckett as opening bowler in each innings. He bowled‘better to-day than hitherto, but when, he first came on lie seemed innocuous.

Fairfax failed to get a wicket in the ; second innings. There is plenty of life in his bowling, but not yet sufficient to command, {length and direction.
