Reviewing the season lately closed an English exchange speaks eulogistically of several Australians who have batth-d a way into first-class cricket ut Home. Of Marshal, the ex-Queenslander, now a Surrey mainstay, it says:—"Marshal, with increased confidence, proved himself the best all-round man in the side. His batting was at times brilliant i.ij the extreme, his howling was often veivl successful, and his fielding always of a high standard." The Queenslander iu hatting averaged 40.3G for 43 innings, twice not out; in bowling forty-seven wickets at an average ot 19.12. Of Tarrant the exchange remarks: "Tie showed splendid all-round form . . could hit freely when he wished . . In strictly inter-county matches Tarrant scored 1206 runs and took 93 wickets. L. 0. S. Poidevin, the Board of Control's representative in England, who appears for Lancashire when not playing tennis, averaged 28.91 runs per innings i"or the season. Other Australians, as A. E. Trott. Kermodc, and Cuffe, have all done well during the past season.
