BRADMAN MAKES GOOD STAND.

Australia* Press Association.)

iSYDNEY, January 29.

About fifteen thousand spectators were present yesterday at the match M.C.C. versus New South Wales, when dull, cloudy weather prevailed. Dismissing New South Wales for 128 on a bad wicket, England required only 110 to win, and accomplished this after the loss of. six wickets. New South Wales was again unfortunate in having, to bat on a wicket damaged by heavy overnight rain. Five good wickets fell before lurch, while 83 runs were added, and the remaining, four batsmen were dismissed after the luncheon adjournment for 11 runs.

Bradman, in the early stage of his innings, was a little venturesome, but ho later played with delightful freedom, being severe on the slow bowlers, Mitchell and Verity. Hammond bowled unchanged all day, on a wicket which o-ave him every assistance.

Kippax, Bradman, Cummins and Hill all lost- their wickets at short fine leg, where Hammond, Verity and Mitchell had a cluster of fieldsmen not more than six yards from the batsmen. Bradman, who scored 71, batted for 123 minutes. He hit seven fours. Kippax, who made a single, appears to have lost all form, New South Wales were all out at 3 p.m. for 128. The crowd wa«' in high glee when England’s opening batsmen, Wyatt and Pataudi, were dismissed for eleven runs. Smart fielding by Cummins was responsible, for Wyatt’s downfall. As a rseult of dashing cricket by Leyland and Hammond, including a sixer by the latter, fifty was passed in 45 minutes. Chilvers then came on, and his second ball completely baffled Hammond. His fourth bumped awkwardly and hit Love, the wicketkeeper, under the eye. Fingleton then took over the wicketkeeping job, and he brilliantly stumped Ames. With the addition of one run after tea, Verity and Leyland were out. Leyland: .played a bright innings for 33, hitting five fours. The totel then was six wickets for 70 runs, Chilvers having taken three for five. There was great excitement at this stao-e, ..the crowd visualising victory for°New 'South Wales, but Brown and Tate wiped off the deficit by enterprising batting. England scored HO runs for the loss of six wickets, and thus won by four Wickets. Scores: NEW SOUTH WALEiS—First Innings.
