[TARQUOR REUTER'S AGENCY.)
ENGLAND WERE ALL OUT FOR 21 BUNS IN THEIR SECOND INNINGS, LEAVING AUSTRALIA WINNERS OF “THE ASHES" BY AN INNINGS AND 39 RUNS.
·HAMMOND MADE A GALLANT ATTEMPT TO SAVE HIS SIDE FROM AN INNINGS' DEFEAT, BUT WITH HORNIBROOK BOWLING LIKE ONE POSSESS- ED THE ENGLISEMEN FOUND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY THE QUEENSLANDER, WHO, AFTER "THE LUNCH INTERVAL, CAPTURED SIX OF THE SEVEN WICKETS THAT FELL. HIS EFFORT WILL LONG BE REMEMBERED AS A WONDERFUL DISPLAY OF BOW- LING, AND AS HE MADE HIS WAY TO THE FAVI- LION HE WAS LOUDLY CHEERED."
LONDON, August 92. The wicket was soft and the weather fine when Sutcliffe and Whysall resumed England's innings before a crowd of 6,000 specte-
tors.
Grimmett and Fairfax started the bowling and there was a lot of devil in the wicket, the ball coming up dangerously and Sutcliffe was hip almost every over:
Play had not been in progress very long when Whysall failed to get hold of a sharp off-break from Grimmett and put a simple catch into the waiting hands of Hornibrook at slipa. He had only got 10 runs then, while Sutcliffe's share was 16, and the total 37 for 2.
Sutcliffe Brilliant Then Out.
Duleepsinghi was next man in and he played the unaccustomed part of a stonewaller admirably. Then Sutcliffe played brilliantly to defy the wiles of the bowlers, and he was batting merrily untit he appeared to lose sight of one from Hornibrook which flew off the shoulder of the Tyke's bat straight into the gully, where Fairfax brought of a simple catch-118-3-54. Suteliffe had up till this stage played excellently, while Duleepsinghi, who had made 37 runs up till now, was described as being masterly in a crisis. He had so far found the boundary four times.
England-Lunch Time, 126 for 3.
Hammond joined the Indian, who continued to give a polish- ed display, and although the latter brought his total to 45 when play was stopped for hunch. "Wally" had not opened his account, ENGLAND: FIRST INNINGS.
