Victor Trumper lived up to his reputation as a master of the sticky wicket. However, the rest of Australasia's lineup were easy prey to Great Britain's dominant bowling attack. Thus, a team representing Australia tasted defeat at the hands of the British for the first time in the history of the Olympics, and also failed to qualify for the final for the first time since 1896.

Argentina managed to finish fifth in the overall 1908 standings as a result of this victory. An impressive effort considering the horror shows in their first two matches of the competition. The Jack Raphael-led Belgians finished sixth, exceeding everyone's expectations by finishing ahead of the Netherlands and Canada; both considered to be stronger nations in cricketing circles.

Argentina won by 40 runs

Man of the match: Ned Traill (Argentina)
 
Philip LeRoy's timely double strike brought up a thrilling 9-run victory for the United States. They were through to the final and guaranteed themselves a silver medal.

Side note: does anyone else think he looks like Dwayne Bravo?
 
Batting against Sidney Barnes & co. on a sticky wicket was always going to be difficult. Our middle order didn't contribute again. Maybe I should've given someone else a chance. Minnett also underperformed massively for an Emerald player.

Did I put him down as Emerald? Oops, my bad. I actually meant to do so with Cotter who was one of the brightest pace bowling talents of the early 20th century. Sadly, his life and career were both cut short while fighting in World War I.

That explains everything. Will there be a 3rd place play-off?

Bart King removed both Fry and Douglas in the 39th over. But while bowling the final delivery, he tripped and injured his ankle, and had to be carried off the field. That could well rule him out of the remainder of the match. But with Great Britain already 8 down and requiring another 39, it might not matter now.

With all the frontline bowling options used up and Bart King injured, the stand-in skipper John Lester was forced to return to Philip LeRoy. And that was that. Barnes hit two more boundaries to take his country to victory and finally an Olympic Gold medal after three Silver medals on the trot between 1896 and 1904.
