CRICKET.

ALL-ENGLAND ELEVEN? v. EIGHTEEN OF CANTERBURY.

Third Day —February 28

The following are our concluding remarks on the game ; Ashby, the next man, then went in and played Hill’s next to the on for 1. A very close thing here took place, Stevens just getting back in time to save his wicket. Hill then sent him down a maiden. In Emmett’s next, he cleaned bowled Ashby, who played too quick for the ball—47-10-1. T. R. Moore came to do battle, and from the way he played the previous day, hopes were entertained that he would make a stand. He received the rest of Emmett’s over, which he played carefully. Hill again opened on Stevens, and his third ball he put to the off for 2 —a very close thing indeed. Two byes were run off Emmett’s last, which brought up 50. Two leg-byes off Hill followed, and then another ; but with his last he clean bowled T. JR. Moore, without scoring—s 4 11—0. The long-stop (Alpe) then went to the wicket. A bye was here run off Emmett, but with his next he clean bowled Alpe - 55 —l2 -0. The Canterbury people now began to look rather gloomy at the chance of pulling up, and wickets were falling very fast. A little exhibition cricket was here indulged in till some of the field had a little refreshment. Sweet then came to the rescue and played the last of Emmett’s over. Stevens put Hill to the on for 1, Sweet getting down on the next, and the following one he poked to leg for a single. Off Emmett’s last, a bye was the result. Sweet then cut Hill for 2, which brought up (io—leaving 48 to win. Stevens played a short 1, for which Emmett appealed; “ Not out” was the reply. Sweet followed this with a drive for 2, and Stevens tried hard to get Hill away in the next over, but the field would not allow it. The field was now put out deeper for Sweet, but he failed to hit Emmett in his next over. Stevens then played another maiden from Hill. Stevens was then bowled by Hill. His score of 10 was a fine exhibition of cricket, and he received quite an ovation when he retired. Go —13 finished the over. The field was again put out for Sweet, and he hit Emmett all over for 4, amidst cheers, hitting the last for 2 more. Hill sent down a maiden to D’Emden, and again the field was organised for Sweet, who hit Emmett for 1, and 70 appeared ; the rest of the over added nothing to the score. Sweet now faced Hill, and a bye was run off the third bail. Sweet drove Emmett for 4, which was, without exception, the finest hit of the match. The hit was received with cheers all round the ground. A leg-bye off Hill followed, which finished the over, D’Emden next drove Emmett for 3, amidst cheers, and the field was put out again, Sweet driving the same bowler for 1, which was a safe two. Hill, with the first ball of his next over, clean bowled Sweet, who retired amidst cheers. 80—14—17. Sweet’s was a good hitt'ng innings, and at times he showed good defence, punishing Emmett severely Fowler (the captain) next went in, ar.d took the rest of the over. Ulyett was now put on in Emmett’s place, and the last ball D’Emdon hit to leg for 2. Hill, with his first ball, clean bowled the captain. 82 —15 Fuller was the next man, and many were the good wishes that he would make a stand,

but Hill sent him back to the pavilion without scoring. 82-16 —O. The last man — Frith—now came to the wicket. D’Emden hit Ulyett for 1 ; the rest of the over added nothing to the score. A leg-bye was now run off Hill, but the next proved too much for F.ith, as he was clean bowled. 84 —l 7 D’Emden, being not out, for 6, thus carrying his bat in both innings. Canterbury thus lost the match, by 24 runs to tie, or 25 to win. We cannot close this report without saying that, with perhaps one or two exceptions, our men acquitted themselves most creditably, and whoever watched the game from the start will agree with us, that a better exhibition of cricket was never seen in the colony. There were loud cheers given, on the termination of the game, for the Eleven. We append the full scores :
