(Australian Press Association)

SYDNEY, November 24

The match between the English team and New South Wales commenced today. The English team is as follows: Jardine, Wyatt, Allen, Brown, Pataudi, Sutcliffe, Hammond, Tate, Ames, Voce and Verity.

The weather is fine, and the wicket is slow and easy. New South Wales won the toss and batted.

Larwood is twelfth man for England

Jardirie called wrongly for the first time of the tour, .and Fingleton and Bill opened the New South Wales innings in cool weather on .a batsman’s wicket.

Allen and Voce had charge of the attack, but the ,former was unable to strike a length. Bill collected three fours off him in three overs.

Vocc operated with a closely-packed leg field, and Fingleton was uncomfortable when facing him. Voce incensed the crowd by making the ball t'.y afound the batsmen's heads. Fingleton deceived nasty knocks from him over the heart and on the arm.

Tate was bowling excellently, and he had Bill missing badly. The latter was eventually caught in slips. Bradman was never at ease, he being troubled by Vo c e's fliers and by Tate’s perfect length. The score at the luncheon adournment was : Fingleton (not out) 32 ;‘ Bradman, ].b.w.,b Tate 18 ; extras 3Two wickets for 73.

After Bradman went, McCabe joined Fingleton, and during their association tire runs came at a good rate. A total of 150 was raised in 136 minutes. 'McCabe smacked Verity for four successive fours, making the partnership worth one hundred runs, scored in 67 minutes.

Fingleton, wh 0 in the earlier stages was subdued, now showed greater confidence. Tate wag brought on again, and he dismissed McCabe, Allen taking a fine catch at short leg. McCabe gave a bright display, batting for 82 minutes, and he hit 11 fours. Continuing his innings, Fingleton reached the century in 201 minutes. He was then dropped in the slips by Hammond off Voce.

The Hillitos again demonstrated against Voce when lie struck both IDrd and Cummin s on the body with fast bumping deliveries. The tail-enders offered little resistance.

Fingleton carried out his bat, he being solid rather than 'brilliant. Tate was easily the most dangerous bowler*

The fielding of the Englishmen avas not, up to international standard. The attendance, was 26,384, and the gat© (receipts were '£1,848. Scores: NEW SOUTH WALES—First Innings Fingleton, not out W-endell-Bill, c Jardine, b Tate 22 Bradman, 1.b.w., 'b Tate
