Australia were unable to to avoid following-on, the compulsory margin in 1888 being 80 runs.
Heavy rain before the match produced a soft, wet pitch and gave the side batting first an enormous advantage. A hot, drying sun on the second day made the pitch a vicious 'sticky'; 18 wickets fell before lunch.
