The weather is fine for cricket/aneD a hot day is likely. The Herald expert says that Saturday's play showed good bowling and bad batting. He attributes success to the Australian bowling and inability of the Englishmen to master- Mailey, whose work was not indicated by the analysis. He had the batsmen guessing all the time, making it uncomforti able at both ends. 'He sent down some gifts, but throughout he did not falter in length or persistency. Des- | pitc the fact that the work in the field lis not so impressive as the English fielding, it needs an Australian breakdown or a brilliant English recovery to avert the expected.(result. The Telegraph states that a.* an ex- ■ hibition of first_class cricket the play ;was lamentable. It is rubbish to talk of super-bowling or a bad cricket. ThP .answer is that only two men on the English side played qricket—Hobba and Woolley. The former is brilliant, enterprising and well liked by the Australians, but is liked best in the pav'ilion. He alone among the Englishmen knew how to play Mailey's googlie's. TAIHAPE EAST V. UTIKU. The above teams met at Taihape on Saturday, with the following result: McAuliffe, run out . . .. 11 J.
