Grand Total ... 804 Received January 13, 7.30 p.m. The third test entered its final stage in fine, warm weather. The attendance was 1500. Kelleway 33 and Carter 11, resumed with the total at 187, on a wicket which, though slightly worn, was quite good enough for run getting. Faulkner opened the bowling to Kelleway, the score gradually creeping upwards by small hits. A pull to the boundary by Kelleway, off Sinclair, made the total 200 in 170 minutes. A square cut for four off Faulkner took Armstrong to double figures. Kelleway hit Sinclair to the boundary, making him 50 in 102 minutes. At 225, Schwarz and Pegler took up the bowling, and Schvvarz's first over had Armstrong tangled. With 250 on the boards, which had taken 208 minutes to compile, Armstrong hit each bowler for four and Sinclair replaced Pegler. With the score at 2 63, and off Sinclair's second ball, Kelleway was snapped up at the wickets. He had played a great defensive effort, which had lasted 214 minutes. He hit six fours. Gehrs drove his first two balls to the boundary, and at 284 Schwarz relieved Llewellyn. Gehrs scored a single, and the next ball found Armstrong's stumps. He had batted soundly. Macartney was disposed of legbefore the first ball.

The adjournment was rcade with the score at 292.

After resuming Gehrs hit his wicket, and Cotter provided a sensation by hitting Sinclair and Schwarz for sixes, also scoring three fours. Pegler relieved Sinclair, and got Whitty at mid-on in his third over. The South Africans thus won by 38 run 9. Their fielding was brilliant and Schwarz bowled splendidly.

Received January 14, 9.5 a.m. Sydney, This Day. The Daily Telegraph says:---"The South Africans batted more defensively than in previous matches, probably because they lost the other two tests. They should have scored more runs but showed lamentable bad judgment in running' between the wickets. Faulkner was the only exception. They were also poor in the field, slow to gather the ball, and slower to return. The win, however, proves that, given equal weather conditions, there is not much difference between the teams."
