Rec. Jan. 29, 6.30 p.m. Sydney, January 29. Dismissing New South Wales for ' 128 on a bad wicket, England requir- ■ ed only 110 to win, apd accomplished this after the loss of six wickets. About 15,000 were present and | dull cloudy weather prevailed; New South Wales was unfortunate in having to bat on a bad wicket which was damaged by the heavy rain overnight. Five good wickets fell before luneh while 83 xuns were added and the remaining four were dismissed after the adjournment for 11 runs. f Bradman in the early stages 'of his !| innings was a little venturesome, but !' later played with delightful -freedom, j being severe on the slow bowlers, i Mitchell and Verity. Hammond bowled unchaftged to-day on a wicket which gave him every assistance. Kippax, Bradman, Cummins and Hill all lost their wickets at short fine leg, where Verity, Hammond and Mitchell had clustered all the fieldsmen not more than six yards from the batsman. Bradman batted 123 minutes and hit seven fours. .Kippax ap- i peared to have lost all his form, The crowd was in high glee when England's opening batsmen were dismissed for 11 runs. A smart following by Cummins was responsible for Wyatt's downfall. » As the result of dashing cricket by Leyland and Hammond including a six by the latter, 50 was passed in 45 minutes. Chilvers the.n came on and his second ball completely baffled Hammond. His fourth bumped awkwardly and hit Love under the eye. Fingleton took over the wicketkeeper's job and promptly stumped . Ames. With the addition of one run after tea, Verity and Leyland were out. Leyland played a bright innings, hitting five fours. The total was then six for 70, Chilvers having three. for five. There was great excitement at this stage, the crowd visualising a victory for New South Wales, but Brown and Tate wiped out the deficit by enterprising- batting.
