CRICKET.

ALL-ENGLAND ELEVEN V TWENTYTWO OF AUCKLAND. (’Ey Telegraph.] {Per Press Agency., AUCKLAND, January 29; About 1000 persons were present at the cricketmatch. Pooley had his eye bunged up by mosquito bites, but is determined to take his place in the field as wicket keeper. This is a serious loss to the Eleven, Japp also is left behind. The English have only their exact number. Every one is loud in praise of the evident care taken to get the ground in as good condition as possible. One of the English Eleven said it was better than the usual run of grounds on which they had hitherto played. At noon sharp Robinson and Lillywhite tossed for choice; Robinson winning, elected to take the field. Shaw and Charlwood went in, Buckland and Robinson bowling, The result to 5,50 was— Charlwood, c Bennett 65 Greenwood, c Abraham, b Robinson ... 18 Shaw, b Robinson... ... ... ... 7 Ullyett, c Lynch 35 Byes 1, leg-byes 1, wide 1 3 BOWLING ANALYSIS. Buckland—l6 overs, 5 maidens, 18 runs ; Robinson—l 4 overs, L maiden, 14 runs. Four wickets are down for 135. Emmett gone in. Auckland, January 30. The following is a report of the match continued from 5.30 yesterday. After scoring 65, Charlwood’s career closed, Maokay getting him with an easy catch in longfield. Charlwood’s score is only second to his Ballarat performance, and was a most brilliant display of scientific cricket. Emmett joined Selby, who sent Bennett to leg for 4. The left-hander’s first contribution was a cut producing 3, followed by 4 to square leg by Selby for 3, making a total of 150, helped by some beautifully stolen runs, and then Emmet was caught by Buckland off Bennett. Pooley, wicket keeper of the Englishmen, took the vacant wicket and and commenced in a lively manner, catting Bennett for 1, Buckland for 1, and 2, and was then we l taken at wickets by Daufaur, making the fourth wicket to Bennett. 162—6—4. Armitage had a very short life, being stumped first ball. Lillywhite next appeared amidst some clapping of hands, but after scoring a couple of singles, was caught by Lankham in the slips. Allan Hill succeeded, and after a stubborn innings was caught by Daufaur off Lynch, who had gone on at the north end. 222 -9—26. Southerton, the last man, skied his first ball for 2, and the stumps were then drawn, Selby having made 43 in faultless and patient style, leaving the two last men at the wickets for to-day. Total score, 224 for nine wickets ; byes, 8 ; leg byes, S ; wides, 3. {From a correspondent of the Press.) This long looked for match was commenced on the new cricket ground at Ellerslie this morning. The English Eleven arrived at eleven o’clock and had an hour’s practice. Hill, Ulyett, and Armitage astonished the spectators by their hard hitting. W. Robmson (Thames) was unanimously elected captain of the Auckland team, and Lillywhite, Captain of the Englishmen. Auckland won the toes, and decided to send their opponents to the wickets first. The wickets were pitched north and south, a strong wind blowing across the ground, and heavy showers falling at 12 o’clock, which delayed the opening of the game. At 12.80 Charlwood and Shaw went to the wickets. Buckland bowled the first over, Charlwood scoring 1 to long slip. Robinson bowled a maiden at the other end ; Buckland followed suit, Charlwood then sent the first ball off Robinson’s second over to leg for 3, and a bye was added in this over. Shaw sent Buckland to cover point for 1. Robinson and Buckland then bowled a maiden each. In the next over Robinson was hit again to the leg for 3 by Charlwood, who followed with

1 tomid-on—TOon telegraph board. Shawnow scored 3 off Buckland to square leg, and Oharlwood added 2 by a leg hit off Robinson. Buckland then bowled a maiden, and Oharlwood again sent Robinson to leg for 2. Shaw put one into the slips, which was missed by Steadman ; but in the next over turned one of Robinson’s into his wickets. One wicket down for 20 runs. Time, half an hour. Shaw was loudly applauded on retiring to the pavilion. The Auckland fielding was rather weak, as several runs should have been saved, Greenwood joined Oharlwood, and com menced playing steadily for singles until Buckland sent an over-pitched ball, which he hit to square leg for 4. Garter saved three runs off another hit by a magnificent piece of fielding. Lankham relieved Robinson, and Steadman went on at Buckland’s end, but the two players were defying all bowling, and the telegraph board chronicled 30, 40, and 50 in quick succession. At 1.30 the match was stopped for a few minutes by rain. At 2 o’clock the players adjourned to a capital lunch, and resumed play at 2,40; About 1000 persons were on the ground and about a dozen carriages; McOomish’a band playing excellent music. Greenwood did not add to his score after lunch, and was eventually caught by Abrahams in sending an over pitched ball off Robinson to cover-point ; two wickets down for 63, of which Greenwood contributed 18, Ulyett next went to the wickets, and with Oharlwood wbs keeping the field alive. The latter made a splendid drive to mid-on for 4, Ulyett scoring rapidly, Oharlwood had had two lives, being missed by Carter and Yates, and Ulyett gave a chance to Garland, which was not accepted. Rees now took the ball from Robinson, but with no effect, runs coming freely. At ten minutes to four the telegraph showed 100, and at four o’clock 110 up. Lankham hero relieved Buckland, and Ulyett drove his first ball to mid-on for a clear 5. Oharlwood (not out), 56; and Ulyett (not out), 32. At 4.10 the score was 122, and Bennett went on to the bowling at Rees’s end, and with his second ball tempted Ulyett to send a skier to Lynch, which was taken. Three wickets for 123. Ulyett’s share, 35. Selby joined Oharlwood, and the latter was shortly after badly missed by Crawford. At 4.40 Oharlwood was well caught by T. McKay off Bennett—score 65. He was loudly and deservedly applauded, Total, 135, with four wickets down.
