AUSTRALIAN CRICKETERS IN ENGLAND.
AUSTRALIANS V. NOTTINGHAM. [reutkr's telegrams.] Owing to the heavy rain which has rendered the ground unfit for cricket, the match at Nottingham could not be resumed on Friday. The match was resumed on Saturday, at Nottingham. The weather was fine, but the wicket was heavy, owing to the rain which fell on Friday. The attendance of spectators was enormous. The home team resumed their first innings, which closed for a total of 110 runs, as against 142 of the Australians. The latter went in for their second innings, and were all disposed of for 106, Bonner being the highest scorer with 39 (caught). When time was called, the Notts Eleven had scored 12 runs for the loss of one wicket. The match was consequently drawn, the home team requiring 127 runs to win. A misunderstanding occurred during the progress of the play on Saturday, owing to the accidental exclusion of the Australians from the luncheon tent. Murdoch twice refused to accept the apologies of the Notts Committee for the occurrence.
