CRICKET

AUSTRALIANS Y. CANTERBURY Christchurch, November 27. The attendance at the match to-day amounted at one time to 3500. The weather was warm and the wicket good The chief item of interest in connection with the play was the collapse of the Australians in the early part of their innings. Seven Wickets were down for 38 at the luncheon adjournment. Blackhun and Mcllwraith played determined y, and though the latter got an occasional pulled they added 60 rn ■», and had saved tho follow on when Wilding levelled BUckham’a wickets. The same bowler took Spofl >rlh with the first bail. Tho Canterbri' y’s fielding was v ry good. In Canterbury's second innings Wi'ding was wed set when he was given out leg before wicket. Barnes played good cricket for his runs, an Fowko was playing well when the w okefc keeper caught him •if the last ball of the day. Should the rest of the lucd mm make a stand, tho game, which will be continued on n fourth day (Tuesday), ah mid prove a decidedly cl so o.e The match so far has been very interesting.
