CROWB AND ENGLISH TEAMFIFTH TEST. GOOD CHANCE FOR AUSTRALIAONLY 169 WANTED. Enaland 324 and 2H Runs. Australia 176 and 193 for Three. By TelcEraph-Prcß» Aosoclatlon-CojyrlrlU (Hoc. Febninry 28, 7.5 p.m.) Sydney, February 28.The fourth day uf tho liflh Test match between M.C.C." and Australia saw the Englishmen all out in their second innings for 211, and Australia batting again. The weather was line, but dull, with a gusty wind, and tho wicket slow. The attendance totalled 0350. In tho second over after resuming Hitch was caught in the deep held by Kansford, oil' Armstrong, and Vino carried out his bat for 0 runs, scored in 50 minutes. Winding 3K) runs to win, Trumper and Gregory opened Australia's second innings to tho bowling of Foster and Barnes. Trumper started in a. scratchy manner, playing three, dangerous strokes in the first two overs, and twice snicking the ball over the head of tho slips, off Barnes. Once, also, the ball fell only a couple of inches out of the roach of Smith who was standing back to Foster. Gregory, on the other hand, played sound cricket, his leg glances being particularly productive. The first fifty occupied 40 minutes, and tho partnership was unbroken at luncheon for a total of 70. In tho third over after the interval, Gregory touched a rising ball from Barnes, and Smith took tho catch. Willi Hill in, the scoring rote slowed. Tho captain was unable to sight Foster's leg-theory, but 100 went up in OS minutes, liill batted 2,5 minutes for 8, and then hit Foster on (o his wicket. Trumper brought up his 50 in 113 minutes by driving Barnes to tho track, but next ball he poked to Woolley at square-leg, close in, (ho fieldsman bringing oil a good calcli.

Armstrong and Minnett were then together. At 3.30 a light drizzling rain started, and the players hurried pavilionwords. After a quarter of an hour they resumed play till 1 p.m., when they adjourned for tea. The crowd hoofed at die delay, and repeated this demonstration when the Englishmen again dawdled on to the ground. The bowlers wasted further tinio with practice balls, and.almost every action of the English team was jeered. When Douglas used sawdust on the ball, a voice inquired: "How about Hordern and the resin?" Hitch's peculiar run was ironically cheered. Despite the interruptions, Minnett attacked the bowling with great freedom, and was frantically cheered on driving Hitch for three- fours in one over. Armstrong meantime was batting carefully.At forty-nine, Stinnett gave an easy chance to Hobbs at inid-on, off Woolley. On the conclusion of the over, Annstrong appealed against the light, and play was adjourned. A quarter of an hour later stumps were drawn.
