GLOUCESTER-AUSTRALIA TIE THE TOTAL SCORES EQUAL : MOST EXCITING OF .TOUTS By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. London, August 28. The . Gloucestershire v. Australia match finished sensationally. When th® game w T as resumed in the presence of. SOOO, the was 62 ahead witi seven wickets in hand. The' 6-ide then collapsed, and all were out before lunch for a total of 202, leaving the Aus* tralians requiring 118 to win. i Hornibrook was again -'the most sue* ccssful bowler, and his 'figures for ih© match were nine wickets for 69 rruns. The Australians commenced the ee« ond innings well, McCabe and Jacksoii carrying the total to 59 before .the foir* mef was bowled. Four .wickets the i -fell; with the‘addition of 14 runs. ■. Ponsford and .Kippax made. the. firsi “ducks” of the tour. The crowd roared with excitement when Parker scattered Bradman’s stumps., . Thirty-seven were then needed, with • four wickets intact. Australia seemed, certain to lose when a’Beckett wa® caught in the slips. The score was then seven for 86. Hurwood survived two appeals for leg before and, with the total at 96, Lyon dropped Grimmett. Hurwood was again given not out to further leg before appeals. The pair added a valuable 20 and then Hurwood was out’ leg before. Eight wickets were down' for 108, .and only three were still wanted whefl 'Grimmett was caught after, a‘.plucky- ’ ■' j stay of an hour. ,■.'■/ '\ Hornibrook survived , a stumping apopeal and brought the side level.' Amidst tremendous excitement Goddard appeal-. ed for leg before against the same bats* man, and he w’as given out. The match resulted in a tie, the scores being even. . Thus ended the most dramatic game of the tour. It was a pitiful display on the Australians’ part, and further demonstrated the foolishness of changing the batting order.
