CRICKET.

AUCKLAND v. CANTERBURY

The following is the conclusion of yesterday’s play after wo went to press, and the full score ;

Wilding relieved Barns, and oil his first hall O’Brien was caught in the slips by Ashby. O’Brien’s innings of 33 w-as a really judicious and fine piece of batting. 85—G—33. Gardner followed, and the nest over Testro was clean bowled for 27. 87 —7 —27. His innings, like that of O’Brien, was a most meritorious performance, and showed the manner in which playing an uphill game should be done. Dufaur followed and Gardner hit Wilding for 3 over slip’s head. Gardner made a big hit off Frith for 4. After 3 singles and a bye, Gardner snicked a 4, and the century appeared. Gardner hit one up in the long field, but no one was there, and a single was run. Dufaur made 3 to square log, and the Auckland sympathisers began to look upon the game as not a hopeless one. Gardner, however, was bowled next over by Frith. 100—8—13. Lankhara now went to the wickets. Off Wilding he made 2, and 110 was up. Frith now bowled Lankham. 112—9—4. Gill, the last man, made 2 singles as did Dufaur, and then a 4 bye brought 120 up. But the end was close at hand, for, after a single, Dufayr. was caught by Ashby at mid-on. Canterbury thus won the match by 27 runs.

In concluding our report on this very interesting match it may generally be noticed that it is some June since better cricket has been seen in Christchurch than was exhibited in it. The relative strength of the two teams appears to be very equal. In certain departments of the game the Aucklanders are certainly stronger than our men. They are, undoubtedly, a leveller team, and they possess a wonderfully judicious captain. But they fall short of the Canterbury men in off play, noae of their men cutting with any precision. Their visit will have given a great filip to the noble game in Canterbury, and it is to be trusted that the remainder of tieir tour will be successful and enjoyable.
