Bith- . erto they have beeri noted for their uphill play, but this proved them lamentably' Yeak v in ahnost department. \ Tjie 'fifth ' and lust test match in 1902 was won by Euglaud, the 3ast man being at the wickets v.hm this Australians' sconwas jjaH^ed. On that occasion tho colonials batted iirst and made 324 in the first, innings— Trumper 42,' Duff 23, Hill 11, Noble 52, Darling 3, Gregory 23, Armstrong 17, Hopkins' 40, Trumble 64- not out, Kelly 39, 1 and Saunders 0 being the scores, j England made 183, seven batsmen, making double figures. Australia made. 121 in the second venture. Eng- ( land badly, losing MacLaren, Palairet and Tyldesley for. ten runs, live for 48 being the score when Jessop joined Jackson, and when Jackson left the score was six for 157. yon l?ft the score was six for 157. Hirst then helped, Jessop to carry the score to 187, when Jessop was snapped up by Noble when r his score was 104. Rhodes joined Hirst at 248, and carried the score to 263, which gave the victory to England. The match against Sussex seems to result- iri good scoring by the colonials., In 1894 Trumper made 380 not out against Fry's County, and in . 1902 Noble .and y Armstrong made, scores of 284 and 172 not out respectively, and Noble, has followed up his previous success by scoring 267 in the present match. On Thursday the match against Worcestershire opens. In 1902 this match resulted in a win for the visitors by 174 runs. Australia made 274 in their ' first attempt/ Dull" 90. Worcestershire, made. 2o2, Gaukrodger 59, Arnold 38. Australia put up 199 in tKeir , second innings— 'Hill 50, Duff 30. Worcestershire collapsed in their last attempt, 9? being the total when the last wicket fell. The following Thursday the Middlesex County ; try conclusions with the colonials, and the game should be interesting seeing that the County eleven includes Warner, Bosawcpu'et , an 1 Beldam, who have already played against the Australia-ns, 'and the exVictoriaii, Tarrant, will play for the County against his old comrades. The following are the batting' aver* ages up to date, including the return Ui'atch' against Surrey. The Dublin and Scottish matches are omitted, the individual scores being j unavailable :—: — .
