The Australian Cricketers
[beutbes telegrams. 1 London, September 16
A cricket match, tendered as a complimentary benefit to Murdock and the Australian cricketers, was played at Lords yesterday and to-day, between a selected English team and the Australian Eleven. The attendance was large and the weather splendid. The Home team went in first and compiled 319, Grace, 74, being the chief scorer. The Australians made 296, Jones (bowled) 67, and Jarvis (bowled) 84, being the most successful batsmen. The second innings of the Englishmen closed for 196, Abel scoring 52. The Australians, in their second innings, lost two wickets for 13 runs, and as the match was only a two days' one, it resulted in a draw.
