England scored 148 In their socond vanturo. Grimmott, the Australian slow bowler,įtook six

It will thus bo auen that the M. C. C. did worse in the second innings than in the first, which' produced 167. Indeed, this is the lowest saore of the present sorios of Tost Matches.
Australia Borod 295 in their firat vonturo and 325 in their eacond inninge.
This match concludes the Tost Borios, the position boing that Australia has won four and the M.C.C. one.
