Iis T alluding to the test match, at Adelaide, between tho English and Australian teams of cricketers, tho Sydney "Morning Herald " makes the following remarks in the leading columns : —Tho Englishmen are entitled to tho full credit of their win in tho final tost match on tho Adelaide Oval. The Australian cricketers, who have won two out of tho three contests, can afford to sparo the third to their visitors, who, it need hardly bo mentioned, have succeeded in putting together a phenomenal score to celebrate tho occasion. Looking at tho last match critically, it might) indeed be claimod on behalf of tho Australians that they had not, like their opponents, tho full advantage of what has been declared by competenb judgoa to bo one of the best wickets in tho world. Tho rain came just as tho English men wero finishing their long innings, and just in timo to spoil tho ground for those who followed them. From the same critical point of view it should bo noticed that the fielding of tho Australians, who lost a good bowlor in Callaway, showed tho sumo weakness which has charac terised the local representatives through out theso contest.-!, and for tho same reason. Tho pliiyora have not been accustomed to playing together, and boforc tho long innings of tho Englishmen was concluded they showed unmistakable signs of fatigue. As a matter of fact, tho win of the toss won the match, for as soon as the rain made its appearance any hopo of suc cess on tho part of (.ho Australians was dissipated. As tho record now stands, the Englishmen have scored successes in all tho matches against individual colonies, twice against New South Wales, twice against Victoria, and onco against South Australia ; whilo the combined local teams have defeated tho Englishmen twico out of three times. In tho single-colony soriea it ia worth mentioning that New South Wales made decidedly tho best show of the three, while in no ca?c, of course, could the match be regarded as an even oi-e. The merits of tho respective wins in tho test matches may be gauged from the results. While tho contest in Melbourne resulted in a victory for the Australians by 5S runs, and that in Sydnoy by 72 runs, tho Englishmen's win in Adelaide was secured by one innings and 230 runs.
