(Received Dec. .24, 3.10 p.m.) , SYDNEY, Dec. 24. ; The Herald, commenting on the test cicket, says; A. Richardson’s, innings was, .in many ways, a memorable one, and- characterised maiulv by its power ana precision .in the making of orthodox strokes, and in that respect comparable with anything of its kind previously seen on the Sydney ‘ cricket ground. Tlie. hall was hot forced awav in unnatural directions, but it was made to travel to- all parts of the arena with marvellous speed. From the outlet he showed no inclination to temporise. In addition to the power of his stroke his play was realljT siifpris-' Thgry versatile. There was vim l in every stroke, and if they were not all scoring strokes it was only because the fieldsmen, cut them off. Mis: judgment m running between' the wickets, especially short singles, was not exemplary. On more than one occasion ho was nearly run out.
