SOUTH AFRICANS IN SYDNEY. FAULKNER AND' FOLKABD BOWL ■ • • ■ WELL. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Rec. Nov. 20, 5.5 p.m.) Sydney, November 20. " The' second day's' play in the match between tho South African Eleven and New South Wales w.as greeted by another perfect cricket day yesterday, and the attendance reached twenty thousand. On the previous day tho South Africans, who batted fiTst, just, completed the third century iu their innings. New South Wales commenced very well, having, when stumps were drawn, 76 on the lioard for no wickets (Trumper not out '41, Bardsley not out 35). - ... Trumper and Bardsley resumed, 'and snowed some pretty cricket. Bardsley had 70 to his credit, after a total stay of 69 minutes at the: wickets, when ho tippedone from Vbgler to Faulkner in the slips, who held the catch: There was a curious coincidence about Trumper's departure a few minutes later. He tipped a ball from Faulkner to Vogler in exactly the same position, when Ins score was the same as Bardsley's. . Macartney made a fair stand, but then the wickets began to fall quickly. Faulkner, who was not successful with the ball in the matches against South Australia and-Victoria, proved his w.orih on this.occasion on a perfect wicket. He varied, his bowling a great deal, his "googlies" seeming to puzzle the NewSouth Welshmen. He wound up with the flue average of five wickets for 40 runs, and is undoubtedly the best.man. on his side. Folkard aoid Kelleway played splendid cricket, batting with freedom. Hordern got out in a peculiar manner. Emery made a good drive and started to run. Hordern stood a yard out of his crease and -refused to budge, and was easily dismissed. Altogether, the batting of the New South Wales players was much more interesting than that of the South Africans. : ' When the South Africans went in for their second innings play was' painfully slow. Strieker and Zulch opened, and Strieker had been at the wickets twentyfive minutes before he scored. - Zulch was little better. Tho partnership had produced 53 after nearly an hour's play, when Zulch was oaiight by Bardsley off Kelleway. With Zulch's. departure, Folkard the new man in the New. South Wales Eleven, started to show wonderful form with the ball, and the irickets fell quickly, Folkard clean bowlins Nourse, Snooke, and Llewellyn. The crowd was disappointed when Faulkner was out for one, being brilliantly caught near the bo ' lnda /.T byE. F. Waddy off Emery; Ihe following aro.the scores:— NEW SOUTH WALES. f First Innings.
