Sandman, Reese and Tuckwell were the smartest, while Boxshall (wicketkeeper) fielded excellently. Robinson and Sandman opened the bowling. The latter was expensive, although he just failed to reach a return from Smith. Bennett was tried, and Smith was smartly taken low down at 'point.—2 for 113. Steele batted free'y. Sandman replaced Bennett, and with his first ball beat Maync—3 for 13.0. Two runs were added, when Steele was caught from a skier at square-leg.
