Giffen considers thebest team won. He admits the wicket was bad, but does not think it was much worse than on Friday. The splendid fielding of the Australians counted for a a good deal. He is very sanguine of winning the final match, for which Blackham states it is intended to have the best team yot put in tho field, although there is general rejoicing in the Australian camp over such a victory, it is admitted thore might have been a different tale to tell had not Stoddart out-generalled himself by sending the Australians in first.
