THE THIRD TEST

AUSTRALIA 222 I M.C.C. NOW IN GOOD POSITION (Australian Press Association.) ADELAIDE, January 16. The test match was resumed this morning in ideal weather. T.. e wicket was in good order. There were fifteen thousand people present at the start. Immense responsibility rested on the shoulders of Ponsford and Richardson, the not out men, when they resumed Australia’s first innings with 109 on the hoard for four wickets. Larwood was bowling at a terrific pace, Ponsford receiving several hard body blows off him. Richardson was unsettled, and be, after addiinr seven runs, weakly played Allen on* to his wicket when his scor, e was twentyeight. Five wickets for 131 runs. Ponsford was showing an attractive repertoire of strokes, late cutting and square leg hitting with .perfect artistry, two successive fours off Laiwcod, and three off Allen and was soon in the sixties. Jardine repeatedly changed the field. The crowd became resentful towards Larwood. Oldfield, who followed Richardson, was playing at the ton of his form. Verity came on at 150. Oldfield drove him delightfully to the off field, : and hit another past point for two. He played both Verity and Voce grandly. A late cut off Verity for a four brought him up to twenty-six. Wh on lie was seventy-six, Ponsford placed Voce, dangerously close to Verity in the slips. At- lunch the score was five for 185. On the resumption of .play, Ponsford added five, and then Voce completely beat him, taking his leg stump. Ponsford played a wonderful innings, scoring 85, and batting for 216 minutes. He hit eight fours. Grimmett began with a smart two through the slips off Hammond. Oldfield, when the score was at two hundred, hit Voce brilliantly to fine leg.

Voce missed Grimmett in the slips off Larwood when he war, five.

Oldfield then mad e a dashing cover shot, in retaliation for a hard knoch on his leg from Larwood. Oldfield lost Grimmett when the: latter was ten. The slow bowler tipped a fast one from Allen for a four, and Payntpr, attempting an interception, badly twisted his ankle, and retired. The next ball Grimmett cocked to Voce, who made a brilliant catch.

When Oldfield was forty-one, a fast erne from Larwood came off tli e bat find struck the batsman on the temple. Oldfield writhed on the ground. A doctor was quickly in attendance,

Then', was an impremlentyd scene, The crowd were vehemently hooting and counting out Larwood at every de-

livery, Oldfield was removed to the dressing room, O’Reilly replacing him. The last men fell cheaply, and the ’Australian >iinnings closed after 322 nrnutes’ batting for 222 runs. When the English second innings began, Richardson (in the absence of Oldfield) took up the gloves, and O’Brien (twelfth man) fielding.

The second ball from O’Reilly, (Sutcliffe (gent to fine leg for four, but on Sutcliffe turning one in a . similar direction, high, from Wall, O’Brien ran round and he effected a brilliant catch.

One wicket for seven. For the first quarter of an hour. Jardine was subdued. and O’Reilly had Wyatt uncomfortable, the runs

being mostly singles. At thirty-five Wyatt gave a chance to Richardson, for which however he ran a three.

For a time there wais little scoring fifty runs occupying fifty-six minutes.

JARDINE’S LUCK. When fourteen, Jardine skied Grimmett to mid-on, for which Fingleton made - a desperate run, but lie just missed the ball by six inches. Jardine then adopted a policy of safety first, and Wyatt waited for loose ones. • Jardine took ninety-one minutes to score seventeen runs. O’Reilly and Wall came back to bowl at 64. Then McCabe had a turn, but he failed to break the “Gibraltar” defences and the score crept to eighty-two. BRADMAN BOWLS. Bradman then had a turn with the ball, Jardine turning his first delivery to log for two. The attendance was estimated at thirty thousand. .At the drawing of stumps the scores wore: AUSTRALIA.—First Innings.
