CRICKET.

NELSON V. AUSTRALIA. ) By Telegraph—Press Assn., Copyright. NELSON, Fell. 10. Nelson had a day’s leather hunting f against the Australians, who scored 1 472 for nine wickets. The game was - drawn. ‘ Pons ford and Kippax together put ' on 194 in the second wicket, the only ‘ chance being early in the innings, when they gave a splendid display. Nelson lacked variety in fbowling, and never really troubled the batsmen. Boundaries were frequent, hut the local fielding was very good, and very little was missed. Scores:— NELSON—Ist Timings.
