The collapse of South Africa is inexplicable, as all the batsmen opened confidently. I he. eas\ wicket suited Geary, who got a lot of turn and kept low. Sutcliffe and TyUlesley were kept very quiet by the deadly howling of Nupen. who continually heat the batsmen and Promnitz. the mystery howler, who by a secret practice, conceals action, also enforced respect. Cotterall again revealed great hatting form and delightful driving. JOHANNESBURG.-Dee 26.
