Our thanks to Arthur Haygarth for collecting the information and to Roger Heavens for providing this scorecard which was first published in Arthur Haygarth's Cricket Scores and Biographies Volume 16. Copies of the book can be obtained from http://booksoncricket.net. Lewis was stated to be 14 or 15 years of age in another account. The wickets were exceedingly good and the ground perfect for cricket, the only fault being that it is a trifle small.
On their way home the Gentlemen of England played two matches (mixed teams) at Christchurch, New Zealand and another at New York.
J Johnston absent on day 2 due to family death.
R Bell absent in the Ballarat second innings due to an injured arm.
