ENGLISHMEN v. SOUTH AUSTRALIA.

By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright

Adelaide, March 15

The weather was fine to-day for the continuation of the match. Hayward was at the wickets for two hours. He batted freely. Tyldesley, going in third man, with the score in the seventies, helped to carry the total to 304, his wicket being the eighth to fall. He gave an execellent display of sound, dashing cricket. Braund ably assisted while the partnership lasted. The innings closed for 318. Following are the scores :

EAST COAST.

A Gisborne team left town on Friday evening for Tolago, and got as far as Pakarae that evening, where Mr and Mrs Shaw entertained them so hospitably that it was 1 o’clock on Saturday afternoon before they reached Tolago. In previous years Gisborne players have found the Coast men very hard to beat on their own ground, and the match on Saturday was a repetition of the one played between the same teams on the same ground a couple of years ago. Tolago, captained by W. Beeves, batted first, and put up the respectable total of 124. The Coast men went at the Gisborne trundlers, and gave the fieldsmen a warm time. They were particularly severe on Seymour’s slows, and this bowler declares that the Hauiti green does not “ draw ” well? Huddleston, AV. Beeves, Spence (the Quaife of the Coast), and Morris all batted confidently. The Gisborne bowling was weak, and the Coast men found no difficulty in playing it. Baker was the most successful performer with the ball for Gisborne. On going to the wickets, Porter, AV. McCredie* and J. Gibson were the only Gisborne batsmen who could make any show against the bowling of Morris and Taylor.' Some idea of the form the latter was in may be guaged from the fact that of the dozen overs he sent down seven were *- maidens. The remaider of the Gisborne | men were “ tail,” and the side was all out for 56, thus suffering defeat by 68 runs. Only one innings each was played. The Gisborne men were most hospitably entertained by the Tolago players, and enjoyed the trip greatly, notwithstanding their somewhat rough trip up the Coast and the pronounced defeat they suffered at the hands of the Coast eleven. There is a probability of a return match being played in Gisborne before the present season closes.
