CRICKET.
The cricket match—Dunedin r. South Dunedin—which was to have been continued on Saturday, appears to have been left in an unsatisfactory position. A correspondent writes to us :—“ On Saturday when the two teams met the D. O.C. were represented by eight, and the S.D.C.C, by six of their players. Neither umpire was present. The 0.0. C. sent in but two of their batsmen, and claimed, through their captain, that the game ( should be continued This the captain of the S.D.C.C., after consulting with his players, declined to do, on account ot . the unfit state of the ground and the absence of some of his team. The D.C.C. captain then intimated that as his men were ready and the other side declined to play he claimed the match.” We have perused the rules acted upon here and fail to see how the D.C.C. captain can make good his claim, when the umpires alone, and none were pre sent on Saturday, can determine that a match has been lost by reason of either side failing to put in an appearance on the ground after the lapse of a stated time.
