At the luncheon adjournment Victoria had last 4 for 224, Wills, c. Hargreaves, b. Kinder ... 13-1 Millar, c. Zimmerman, h. Sumpter Mi Liddii lit (not out) ~ l lnrtkopf (not out) “ g Extras ’ Total for 4 wickets -- 1 SYDNEY. March 4. The “Herald” commenting on the cricket, savs the wicket was still in perfect order, hut the sky was overcast and cloudy, and light dull, and not the host for hatting, especially bite m the aftcrnoniT. The dominant features ol the remainder of the Australian mi,in.rs were the successful partnership ol Kcllcway and Oldfield, ami the bow - in<r achievement of Talc. T ken- is always vim and snap of hostility ni ( his deliveries, and it was not surprising he should in this match reach the -statistical goal that bis consistent success during the series bad brought within his reach. The previous best pcrlormanoe was the 34 wickets secured » Barnes in the 1011-1012 season. Ihe Kmdish hatting failure once more demonstrates the fact that it is far less comfortable relatively against slow bowling than against medium last halls. Especially is this true of the hosie bowling. Tn all respects Giimmett’s bowling has been splendid in the accuracy of its length, in the concealment ni his break and in the bendiness of its application. Grimmett Infs justified his promotion in the order of attack yesterday by securing the wickets of the leading batsmen in a side with the same success that he did those of the second half in the hatting order of the first- innings. II is test match del,-lit has certainly been a remarkable one.
