AUSTRALIAN CRICKETERS. AGAINST SUSSEX. KIPP AX MAKES CENTURY. * C' 4 u • (United Prßoe A»*ociati6n—By Electric : , Telegr**ii»—Oopyright)..; ! . • . LONDON, Aug. 30. The Australians for tlieir match against Sussex, omitted Bradman, Woddfull, “Walker and Wall. The Sussex team are: A. H. Gilligan, Duleepsinhji, Cook, Larigridgie, H. Parks, A. ’E. Gilligan, Tata, Wensley, Cornford, Bowley, J. Parkes. Australia won the toss and batted. Their score at stumps wate nine for 349. Though batting under Australian conditions of Iblazing sunsliine on the attractive Hove ground, the tourists made a. ‘shocking start. Tate’s second ball hit Ponsford’s leg stump before he had scored. .McCabe, who came in in Bradman’s place, Hit out freely, but the/total had only reached' '22 when he ' mistimed Tate, and was clean bowled. Tate had thus taken two for eight. : . ~ Sussex also suffered misfortune,' for in the second over, A. Gilligan, who whs playing his second game this season, slipped and strained his leg. He was carried off the field. The- hard, faist wicket suited Tate, who at 31 had another success, Duleepsinhji at first plip nicely getting Jackson. Without Woodfull and Bradman, an awkward situation confronted the Australians. Richardson lasted only five minutes, when lie wap also clean bowled, thus making Tate’s average 4 far .14. ~ ( Kippax, however, then got going, and he shaped delightfully, and. with Fairfax raised fifty runs fo r . an'; hour’s play. The Australians w;ere‘. happier when Tate . was taken off, • but, on coming back twenty minutes before lunch, he quickly' disposed of Fairfax at 67, and had A’Beckett well oaught at silly‘mid-on' in' the next over. •. , The Australians were in a deplorable position at lunch, when the score stood at 6 for 69, Tate having taken all isix wickets at a cost of only IS runs. He completely (baffled all the batsmen but Kippax.

i Grimmett then made a plucky stand helping Kippax in the intense heat, and at tea lie and Kippax had put on 84 - runs. Kippax well deserved his masterly third century of the, , tour, which, he made, in 185 minutes. He was finally caught in the outfield off James-Parkes. He hit 14 foursj eight of which came after he passed his century. : ■ • Hhrwood and Hornibrook then set to and they trounced the tired bowling, and they reached fifty each off sucOelsive balls in the. record Vast wicket stand of the tour. The last three wickets had thus far added 270 runs for Australia. . Scores AUSTRALIA—Iet Innings.
