McMILLAN'S FINE BOWLING,

(Australian Press Association.)

ADELAIDE, November 2

For the cricket match between South Australia and..-(South (Africa today, the wicket played well, but South Australia’s hopes vanished with the dismissal of Richardson and Nitschke, who played briightly in a valuable partnership. The captain, who made 36, gave a dispray of sparkling cricket, and Nitschke, who scored 30, hit six four and one six to leg side successively off McMillan. Then, however, McMillan became unplayable, and he finished up with a average of nine for 53. The local batsmen signally collapsed, , and the home team were defeated by 192 runs. . ■Scores : SOUTH AFRICA First Innings.
