CRICKET.

lUHTIU.X.IAN AND J..Z CAUI.E ASSOCIATION SYDNEY. Nov. 10. The “Herald’s” cricket representative, commenting on the English howling, says that Gilligan is not a last bowler for the first few overs, hut ol three-quarter pace. He soon 1 down to no more than fastish medium. Tate impressed much more favourably than did his captain. Unlike bi!li.;:,n he takes comparatively slant runs and gets a surprising amount of pace into his delivery, both through the air and off the pitch, lie may he described as medium fast. .Medium in pace. T yldesle.v sends down leg breaks a trifle faster than the usual 'iin of su.-li bowers do. .. Summing up the team s bowling generally, the writer says it will need to liven up as there are many laborious da vs through the tour. As it progresses the howlers will become more accustomed to the conditions and will no doubt achieve sonic conspicuous siie<esses ■ hut onlv after much endeavour. In ’reference to the fielding, the writer savs that in a few instances it was brilliant, hut lor the rest, of Hie time, though sale enough. ll was just of the average quality. The da\ s ( ricket was not suggestive of any change in the destination of_the ashes.
