CRICKET.

ENGLAND V. AUSTRALIA.. . [By Gable Press Association.] Adelaide, January 14, The Englishmen are much disappointed with their batting display on Saturday. They do not) blamo the wicket, which although not up to tho highest Adelaide standard, was worth at least twice as many runs as thuy made upon it. In partial explanation of their failure they complain that like almost everyone else in the city they wcro unable to get any Blet-p on Friday ni&ht owing to the intense heat

The bowling was splendid. All tho Australians agree they never, saw Callaway bowl, better while Gif Ten had all the batsmen in trouble except Brown,-who played a dofensivo game. The fielding was the finest ever'oein in Adelaide ; Wonall, Gregory, Bruce, Iredale, and Harry repeatedly dis-

tinguished iliemselves.; So accurate was the throwing in that tho wickets were seve al times knocked down.

Jarvjswns in splendid form with the gloves. - There was little to complain of about the wicket-, which olayed well throughout the day, and the Australians when wenh in demonstrated that it was by no j reeais difficult to make runs.

Very few had pxppctc(. to see them at the wickets the sameafiernoon, but there was a general-disappointment when Trott,. who on the first .day played on.e of the prettfot innings seen on- the oval, rqtired without scoring. Bruce was apparently determined to do better than in ' the first innings, and took no undue risks at the start. As soon, however, as he was ant the Victorian began to play with characteristic freedom. . ,

None . were more to see him score than Blaokham, ""'He is a bit anxious," said the wicket-feeper, "because they were beginning to say he was not wovth a plac\ lam glad to see he is sporiiiL', for a sood deal of pressure had to be used to get him away from business." So were the spectators glad to see him busy. - Ihe / dashing left-hander is a great favourite in all the colonies, and the way lie sent ball after hall rattling to the chains was a 'feat; to witness. His aco/e went up with leans and bounds, and'it mat'ered not whether-Sichordson, B rook well, Lookwood, or Peel fwasWl* ing tWrrsnlfc was jnst the eatrie. | Bruce's innings was the most brilliant yet seen on the Adelaide oval since Lyons scored 124' against New South Wales, two years ago Both he and Iredale were scoring fast at tho finish. In one over nineteen were hit off Lockwood,
