THE SECOND TEST. ENGLAND WINS. BY EIGHT WICKETS. AUSTRALIA MAKES 307. 1 \iiistralinn Press Association) (United Service.) SYDNEY, Dec. 20. ReMrming in line weather, on a wicket showing no signs of wear, only eight runs were added when Ryder mis-timed a fast rising ball from Larwood, putting it softly tn Chapman atsquare leg. The Victorian played splendidly until the fatal stroke, and hit sovch fours, and one six. He batted for SO ini mites. Tie seemed greatly chagrined with the shot which finished his innings. He made a lew swings with the hat, indicating what lie intended, but failed to do. After that; Oldfield went from the first hall, log before, to Pate. Nothlin’jr continued to play sbuftdly till he turned a hull deep to the leg. Ihe batsman unwisely attempted a second run. and I Iciidren’s prompt return to Duckworth caused Nodding to be run out. Chapman had placed Hendren in this position insteiid ol V bite, who is weak al returning a hall. The move met with success. The Queenslander p,laved a fine innings, selecting only a proper ball to hit and taking no risks. He was 98 minutes making 41. including six fours. ’ Duckworth, who'was unpopular with Q,„ rovvVf throiu li 'the Kinpax incident. incurred disfavour again. Gnminefl chopped , down hard on a hall, which bounced to Chapman at second slip. The cant a iii immediately n't urn,,,l ;i t<> the bowli-r.

The twelfth man has not been selected. LONDON, Dec. 20. English critics are unstinted in their praise of Australia’s stand, which is hailed everywhere as a return to the traditional lighting spirit, which will add greatly to the interest in the remaining tests. Warner describes the stand: “Tliej are hitting back true to the tradition that they are best when the odds are heavily against them. Their whole history is a shining example of grit and courage. Cricketers everywhere congratulate them sincerely on their magnificent counterstroke, when apparently in. full retreat. Ever since Australian cricketers first came to England, half a. century ago, they have been pulling matches out of the lire. They may set us to make a score m tlm fourth innings, that will take some getting. t.iem Mill cables: “II the Australians set the English ilia, n to get 250 to win, the latter might find the task difficult. The Australians have 0 least revealed their true selves. In view of the position of the game, Kip pax should have sacrificed his own wicket when Wood I nil called. II .v,tier did the proper thing in attacking the tired howling.” Woolley says: “The worst that can now happen is a glorious detent. I lie recovery of hatting prestige will do cricket no end of good.” He considers the Woodl'iifl-Hendry partnership one of the most notable in the history of Australian tests. England may yet have to get an awkward number ol runs. “Well done Australia.” writes Tennyson in a column of eulogoy in which lie says: “The old spirit of resolutioi in a lull tie against odds, has shown itself.” The following will represent Rimu at their match against Ruatapu at Runtapu on Sunday, 25rd December.
