On the 15 January 1904 in Adelaide ,Australia began in fine style after two defeats .Trumper scored 113 in just under three hours in a opening stand of 129 with Duff scoring 79. Hill with 88 and
Noble with 59 enabled Australia to get to 365 for 6 by the close of play.
However Bosanquet bowled then out next morning for 388. Rhodes taking 1 for 45 and Hirst 2 for 58.
By the end of the second day England were 199 for 8 with Hirst with 58 and Warner 48 making reasonable scores. Wicket keeper Kelly ,took a remarkable catch on the legside to dismiss Tyldesley for 0. England were then all out next morning for 245 giving Australia a substantial lead
of 143.
Australia surged ahead leaving England to score 495 to win. A brilliant innings by Gregory of 112 in 115 minutes was in a stand of 162 with captain ,Noble, for the fourth wicket .Bosanquet bowling well in the a late spell takingthe last four wickets. Rhodes and Hirst both taking one
wicket.
A great opening stand of 148 by Warner and Haywood was not supported by the other English batsmen as they compiled just 126 between them . Hirst scoring 44 and Rhodes 8.
Hopkins was the most successful Australian bowler taking 7 wickets in the match. This was a good displayby the Australians but a dismal one by England. The result left it open for either side to win the series.
