CRICKET.

ENGLAND v. AUSTRALIA.

Sydney, December 17 Gregory batted just over four hours, and gave one of the finest exhibitions ofcrkiket ever seen in Sydney, Througnout his in nings he gave only one possible chance. Bis> score comprised twenty-eight fours, eight threes, twenty twos, the le it being single.". Th« sum of £103 was collected on tho ground and presented to him when he relumed to the pavillion. The partnership for t.be ninth wicket between Gregory and Klack ham added 154 runs in 75 minute", which j is a record for Australia. The fielding of j the English team waa good, but it can scarcely be called brilliant. Lockwood is improving, and will probably be well enough to bat The Englishmen, no doubt, felfc his loss during the Australians' innings. Bain fell at intervals on Saturday night and during yesterday, but it is hardly likely to interfere with the wicket. The weather is cool and somewhat threatening to-day. The weather is cool and a strong wind blowing. Heavy showers delayed the start of to-day's play. When the Englishmen's score had reached 133 the game was temporally stopped by a heavy shower. Little was done before lunch, and though the rain handicapped the bowlers, the dead ground checked scoring, and the whole day was consumed in making 201 runs. Ward added little to his score, but Brockwell played cautiously for 49. Ford hit in bis usual rapid style, till Blackhctm cut his career short, but still the wickets fell fairly fast, and it looked as if the innings would be finished for a moderate total, till Briggs and Gay got together. The former played au excellent innings in the style which made him one of the leading batsmen a few sea son* ago, and numerous changes had to be resorted to, even Reedman going on, till just before time, Giffen got rid of the Lan cashireman with a shooter for the sterling innings of 57. Gay quickly followed, and the innings clostd for "325. The fielding of the Australians was very loose at times, and several chances were missed. Blackhatn had the misfortune to split his lwnd just be fore the close of play, and was obliged to retire Following are the scores:— Australia—First Innings.

(Received December 18. 10 30 a.m) Sydney, December IS Whether the great; score induced loose j fielding or nor, the fact remains that \ Ihe Australian fielding is not up to the standard demanded by first class cricket, the exceptiou being the brilliant work done by Gregory and Trott, The Teh-graph pays the play was not wha* could be termed , brilliant on either side. Tho English batting was slow, and the Australian field ing patchy, and indeed the batting, making every a'iowance foe the condition of ihe ground, was disappointing, and did not by any meitns realize the optimistic opinions so generally given about the capxeity of Siod dart's team in this respect The weather this morning v cold and threatening.

ASHBUETON V TIMARU B TEAM.

Yesterday another of the South Canter bury Association Cup matches was played at Tcniuka between the above teams^ and resulted in a draw, there being not sufficient time to play the match out. The Timaru B team consisted of fifteen players, and were a fairly strong combination. The Ash burton team which was unfortunate in only teing able to muster ten men, batted first, and put together 132, Buchanan 31 and Denshire 34 playing good cricket for their runs. At the call of time Timaru had com piled 102 for the loss of nine wickets. Cox 43 played a good innings, although he gave several chances. Out of the six bowlers tried by the Timaru Captain, Allen and OCallaghan were the most successful, while Buchanan did the best service ia that de partment for his side.

ASH BURTON JUNIORS v ST SAVIOUR

A team of the Ashburton Junior Cricket Club took advantage of the holiday yester day, and journeyed down to Sydenham to try conclusions with an eleven of the Sfc Saviour's Cricket Club. The latter Club, however, proved too strong for the Juniors, winning the match by an innings and three nins.' Jacobsbn and Saunders made most of tjie runs for the home team by good cricket. A. I'ilbrbw was the oniy pne pf the visiting team who got into double figures, the rest of the team finding the bowling of a better quality tjian they were accustomed to, The fielding of the Juniors was really admired. A most pleasant day was spenb, the St. Saviour Cricket Club providing an excellent lunch, and doing everything in their power to make the trip a success.
