The wicket remained perfect for the resumption of the cricket match be T tween the Englishmen and South Australia yesterday. The attendance was 23,000 England declared their first innings closed at the tea adjournment with 9 down for 634.

J'ardine gave an unrestrained display for 217 minutes, carrying hie bat for 108.

Larwood gave an exhilarating exhibition, scoring eighty-one runs in forty-one minutes, and featuring high drives and pulls. He posted fifty in 27 minutes. He was finally caught out at 81.

Brown, was also responsible for hurricane hitting. He twice lift-id Richardson out of .the ground for sixers, bringing up 27. runs in seven minutes. Wyatt gave a chanceless display for 61. He hit seven fours. Hi,s worst ordeal Was facing Grimmett,

Wyatt and Jar dine made a seventh wicket recordl for England in South Australia. Jai'dine and Larwood broke the existing eighth record for 106, ‘which had stood for thirty-five years. The home side was confident against England’s formidable attnok. Richardson and Nitselike apparently did 1 not fear Larwood, Brown, Verity and Hammond, who bowled successively. The' Australians’ clean forceful hitting produced fifty rims in the first half hour, and one hundred runs in sixty-five minutes. Richardson played) a typical captain’s innings. He was unconquered for seventy-two .at the end of the day. He gave one hard chance at fifty: eight. v Nitschke played a stylish and forceful innings for 69. He hit six fours and three sixers. Nitschke’s sixers were made one after the other, when he hit Verity out of the ground each time. It was in attempting to do the same a third time running that he missed and was ’bowled,' the comment being ■ that he had thrown away his wicket by rashness. Lonei’gan, after hitting a three, and playing carefully with an eye to seeing out time,- was given out l.b.w. to an appeal by Bowes. Scores:
