CRICKET.

ENGLAKD v AUSTRALIA.

London, March 6 The Globe praises Giffen as the G.O.M. of Australian cricket and condoles with him in his recent defeat, despite his judicious captaincy and personal skill with bat and bill. j March 7- Remarkable interest was taken in the cricket match, and the victory of the Englishmen was received with great enthu siasm. 1 he Daily VJtrwiicle considers the victory of the Englishmen a brilliant one, and believes that the omission ot Turner was a mistake. George Giflen is clearly champion of the cricketing world, and the paper eulogiies Brown, Ward, McLaren, Ftoddart and Peel, who so ably assist ed towards the win ; also Albert Trott, Darling and Ircdale, who occupy a position equal to the highest in the English eleven. The Morning Pott, Daily News, and Dtily Teligraph extend praise to Brown, Richardson, Ward, McLarßn, Stoddart and Feel. ■ ■ The Time? says that the Australians accepted defeat with true English generosity. The Sjmrtsman considers that in view of the mental and physical arrain cast upon them the stand made by Ward and^Brown < is the finest performance ever witnessed in ( the cricketing world. The Standard says that the victory eaves ' the tour from being a failure, and referring ' to the omission of Turner adds that in i England no Australian team- would be i regarded as complete which did not include . Turner in its ranks.
