TEST CRICKET

INNINGS WIN FOR AUSTRALIA WEST INDIES’ SMALL SCORE GRIMMETT IN FORM WITH BALL (United Press Association.— By Electric Telegraph—CoM"Sght) BRISBANE, 20th January. Only half an hour was required to dispose of the two remaining wickets in the Lest match between the West Indies and Australia. The baiting was a queer mixture of aggression and restraint. The Indies were all out for 148, Australia winning by an innings and 217 runs. The scores were as follows: AUSTRALIA First innings 558 WEST INDIES First innings I^3 Second Innings Eight wickets for 109 Sealey, not out 15 Francis, c Oldfield, b Grimmett 7 Griffith, c Bradman, b Grimmett ... 12 Extras 12 Total _l^ Bowling: Fairfax took no wickets for 6 runs. McCabe one for 16, Oxenham two for 37, Ironmonger one for .29, Grimmett five for 49. SOUTH AFRICA V. M.C.C. A DRAWN GAME (Received 21st January, 11.15 a.m.) CAPETOWN, 20th January. The third test between South Africa and the M.C.C. team was drawn.

The play was continued in muggy weather. . With Wyatt’s dismissal at 156, Hammond and Leyland Hogged the bowling mercilessly, the former reaching his century in 168 minutes. Chapman declared at lunch with one wicket down ior 223, obviously intending to make a bold bid for victory. South Africa made an inauspicious start, and it looked as if the Englishmen would win. When three were down for 47 Taylor and Catterall became associated in a stubborn partnership, extricating their side from an acute position. At tlie tea adjournment a draw was inevitable, and interest waned. Scores :
