CRICKET.

FOURTH TEST MATCH.

Press Association— By Electric Telegraph Copyright.

Melbourne, January 29 The great cheer that went up showed th»t tossing the fateful coin had given Trot* the advantage for the third time. Trott'a look is now m danger of becoming a houte hold word. At starting the weather was as disagreeable as it well could be. A hot strong wind was blowing along the wicket. Hirst and Board did not play for the Englishmen. Kiohardson opeued the bowl . ing, McLood breaking the ice with a single. Hearne took up the bowling at the southern and, and with his fifth ball itf aLeod played on; This was a bad start, one wioket being dpwn for a single Hill was m next and both played oiutiously, occasionally getting a fonrer. Darling was the first into doable figures, bnt his fellow colonist just tied him at twelve, when Darling spooned one to Hearne, which was accepted. Gregory Succeeded, but Riohardson'a first ball clean bowled him. Iredale was next, but Hearne's third ball of his next over proved fatal to Iredale, who jusb tipped it into Storer's hands. The first forty-five minutes saw four man suooumb. Noble followed, but after getting four lifted Hearne baok to him. Trobt, the next man, was nearly run out m trying a difficult run by Hill. The Utter oontinued to add singles to the total, but on the whole the work was slow and cautious, the English fielding being splendid. Hayward took Richardson's place at 42, Hill greeting him with a drive for 3, the over resulting m 6 rani. Briggs relieved Hearne, Mid lunoh then intervened. The Aus tralians, when questioned, attributed their wretohed display to the fact that one end of the pitch was excessively watered, resulting m one end being slow and the other very fast, and they were quite unable to time the ball. The first ball after lunch gave Trott his quietus. He just touched it, and Siorer snapped it. Trumble was next. Briggs gave way to Hearne, while Richard ion took Hayward's place. There were great hopes that Trumble would repeat his Sydney performance. Hi'l, with very pretty strokes, steadily lifted his score, fast and slow bowling making little difference to . him. Tromble was soon hard at work, but the smart fielding- prevented what looked like certain boundaries. A fuuny stroke wM that of Hill's whioh brought his half . century up. With the next he succeeded m getting it to the on for another 4. The youth's innings to this point was a down right steady one, and at times brillant. His century took him an hour and three-quarters to compile. Then he felt enticed to take liberties, and he began to lash Richardson all-over the field, sooring 10 off the Surrey express m one over. Storer appealed for a oasch off Trumble, which caused the crowd to kejip up a running fire of ironical comment. Richardson then gave way to Briggs. Trum bltfwas a long timegetting intodouble figures. ' The century appeared after two hours and a < quarter's batting. Hi 1 punished Hearne i unmercifully, and Hayward relieved him at • 115. The young Adelaidean gradually worked towards his century, while Trumble J contented himself with defensive cricket, i •nd Briggs's wiles could not tempt him. ; Hijl continued to do all the work, sending np boundaries inquipk succession. Bring ing his century m sight caused great ap plause. He was batting two hours and forty-nine minutes for his hundred. Stoddart took the ball from Briggs, Richard son displacing Hayward, but the partner ~ ship was not broken until ihe tea adjourn ment. Upon resuming runs came steadily. Trumble and Hill promised to repay the J disgraceful rot earlier m the day. Both men completely collared the bowling, various . changes proving ineffectual. Hill judged his - strokea beautifully. Hearne took up the the bowling at Stoddart's end, Sfc< rer taking a turn at Richardson's. Four hours' work cent the second century up, Hill sending a couple of boundaries m succession off Storer. % The wind changed to a cooler quarter late m ] the afternoon. Tiumble, at 46, lifted Storer, , and Mason ran m from the outfield and made a brilliant catoh. The Victorian played a ohanoeleas, solid lnnimgß of two hours and thirty-two minutes. Kelly joined Hill, and sent Storer ad once to the fence, repeating j the dose immediately afterwards. Storer < then resumed his position behind the wickets, Briggs taking the ball. Hill was still playing grandly, and made a oouple of beautiful back cuts off Briggs, whioh brought him close on to Darling's Adelaide score. ] Kelly played carefully, giving his partner i the opportunity to score almost continuously* 1 Great applause greeted the Adelaide boy's brilliant 4's. Wainwright then made his first appearance as a bowler m a test match, relieving Briggc Hill had an ovation as he pat 179 to his oredit without a chance. %t\\y, hitting beautifully, got into the twenties, and a few minutes later stumps were drawn.
