TEST CRICKET

AUSTRALIA V. SOUTH AFRICA FINE DISPLAY OF BATTING BY RYDER By Telegraph—Tress Association—Copyright Cape Town, November 28. There was perfect weather and an attendance of 5000 at the resumption of tho Test match between Australia and South Africa. The scoring was steady, due to the fine bowling of Blanckbriberg. Bardsley was not as confident as usual, and though Collins was tho moro aggressive, the latter was dropped at the wickets when the score was 46. Macartney was not as enterprising as hitherto, but he seemed just to get going when hq was snared in the slips. Threo wickets had fallen for 153, when Ryder set out after a big score. The Victorian was partial, to off drives, and despits frequent bowling changes lie gave a brilliant display, though occasionally he mistimed Blanckenberg, who was a thorn in Australia’s side throughout. Ryder gave a semblance of a chance near point off tho opening over. His was the eighth wicket to fall, with the total nt 357. He batted for three hours, and hit twelve fours. Carter hit freely on the leg side, rapidly running into the thirties by the medium of five boundaries. South Africa pl, cd out time. Following are the scores: — AUSTRALIA. First Innings.
