CRICKET.

ENGLAND Y. NEW SOUTH WALES. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Sydney, Feb. 3. At the afternoon tea adjournment the English score stood at 493 for the loss of two wickets. NEW SOUTH WALES v. ENGLAND. ENGLISHMEN MAKE A BIG SCORE. FOUR WICKETS FOR 650. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Sydney, l-’eb. 3. There was fine weather and a fair attendance for tile cricket match. Maclaren and Hayward had the bowling of Clarke and Mcßeath demoralised from the start.

With 208 up, Kermode relieved Clarke, the third century being recorded in three hours fifty- two minutes. Kenuode’s second over, however, terminated the great partnership. Maclaren tried to offdrive him, but dragged the ball on to the wicket. He had batted for three hours fiftvseven minutes, and hit nineteen fourers. It was a most brilliant display of sound cricket. One wicket for 314. With bis dismissal, the hopes of the New South Welshmen rose, but there were other thorns in store. Tyldesley filled the vacancy, and commenced attractive play, Hayward scoring right merrily. At 325, Mcßeath gave way to Trumpcr, and Hayward, with 153 to his credit, gave Kermode an opportunity in the slips, who did not avail himself of it. A hundred had now been added to the overnight score in seventy-three minutes. Noble replaced Kermode. The latter had botvled excellently. After lunch, Hayward topped the skipper's score amidst cheering. The fielding was a great improvement on that of Saturday, but the bowling was extremely weak, Noblo being far from in his usual form.

Hayward played a magnificent game, showing clean and powerful driving and cutting. He brought his innings to a close by playing one high in tho slips, which Clarke secured. He hit thirty fours, and was at the wickets for four hours and fifty-one mmutes. Two wickets for 890.

Quaife came in, and abandoned his stonewalling tactics, which were unnecessary in the condition the bowling was in. The fourth ceutury came in five hours ten minutes’ play. Tyldesloy’s halfcentury appeared simultaneously. The Lancastrian then placed one close to Clarke in the slips, which the latter might have got. Quaife did not play Clarke freely, but did some execution off the other bowlers. Carter kept the wickets finely, the score having reached 443 before a bye was debited to them. When Quaife had 31 to his name, Kcrmode should have had him in the slips. Tyldesley scored faster than his predecessors, and hit all round the wicket. At the -tea adjournment, ho hal made his century, the third in succession of tho innings, and his best performance so far in Australia. The same remark applies to Hayward’s innings. Tyldesley made a century in an hour and fifty-one minutes.

After the tea adjournment Tyldesley, with a pretty leg stroke, brought the fifth century up, the' result of six and half hours batting. Hopkins relieved Trumper and clean bowled Tyldesley, who had batted a hundred and seventy-five minutes. His score including twenty-one fours three wickets for five hundred and forty-six. Jessop’s appearance was the signal for great cheering, the spectators expecting great things as the bowling was tired. Four strokes and double figures were up, his first twenty-two being made in six minutes. Quaife scored slowly, Jessop making thirty-two before the stonewaller added to his total. Jessop lifted one into the ladies’ pavilion for five, his next, a fourer, playing him ahead of Quaife, and the sixth century appeared on the board. Another lour, aud the demon’3 half century was recorded in twenty-seven minutes. Iu a spirit of emulation Quaife essayed a boundary, bringing fifty to his credit, Clarke’s over producing thirteen. Noble replaced Clarke, tbe Gloucester skipper hitting fourteen off the newcomer’s over.

Kermodo succeeded Hopkins. The partnership added one hundred runs. A lull followed, Quaife blocking. Mcßeath relieved Kermode, and his fourth ball scattered Jessop’s stumps—four wickets for 619. Jessop batted fortyseven minutes. He hit fourteen fourers. Garnett filled the vacancy, and played out time. England —First Innings.
