SUNDRY SPORTS.
CRICKET.
(Received 11.10 a.m.) London, January 15,
The Manchester Guardian says it is useless to answer Mayne’s complaints against the English cricket umpires. If cricketers begin questioning umpires, they will soon get back to the manners of village-green cricket. Mayne’s criticisms were not cricket.
The Australian correspondent of the Pall Mall Gazette regrets the attack on English umpires. There had boon similar experiences in Australia. It was generally conceded that Bardsley’s decision was an error, hut did not affect the result of the match. The Mayne incident shows what a thoroughly unhappy hand the team was. It was unfair to saddle the Board of Control with all the responsibility, but their policy had not uplifted Australian cricket. ' Not since the notorious team of 1893 has the Australians’ reputation been at so sorry a standard.
(Per Press Association.) Ashburton, January 16. In the cricket match, South Melbourne made 200 ■ for four wickets (Gray, b Butler, 4).
