N.S.W. BATSMEN’S STAND

249 RUNS FOR FOURTH WICKET ENGLISH MATCH DRAWN {United P.A -— Pi/ Telegraph — Copyright) SYDNEY. Tuesday. The cricket match England v. New South Wales was concluded to-day, the game ending in a draw. The weather was warm, and the wicket was in good order. There were 7,000 spectators. When stumps were drawn yesterday England had made 734 runs for seven wickets in their first innings and declared, and New South. Wales had been dismissed once for 349 and, following on. had scored 28 for no wickets. Morgan (17) and Jackson ts), the not-out men. resumed the local side’s second innings. Morgan had only one to his score when he lost his wicket. Andrews joined Jackson and made 19 before he was dismissed. Then Kippax went in, and a useful partnership ensued. DASHING. ARTISTIC Jackson and Kippax batted neatly. They made many crisp strokes, but the bowling of Larwood. Freeman and Tate prevented rapid run-getting. After the partnership had added 43, foolish hesitation by Jackson between the wickets enabled Hammond to beat him with a return to Ames behind the stumps, and Jackson was run out. Bradman started well, and gradually he and Kippax mastered the bowling, runs coming freely. Bradman played dashing cricket, and Kippax was artistic. They were together until the tea adjournment, when the score was 253 for three wickets. Kippax made his century in 154 minutes. Jardine’s slow balls were particularly weak, and runs came freely. Bradman compiled his 100 in 12$ minutes, giving a great display, and was given long-sustained applause. He is only the third New South Wales batsman to score a century on his first appearance against the Englishmen. CHANCELESS CRICKET A dust storm at this stage of the game caused the light to be bad and toward the close of the game many non-bowlers were tried. Stumps were drawn at 5.35 p.m. Kippax had batted 207 minutes and Bradman 150 minutes. Each had hit 14 fours and both played chanceless innings. This partnership was responsible for 249 runs for the fourth wicket —a record for New South Wales against England. The batting of the local men was superior, except for a short period after the game was resumed this morning, when Morgan and Andrews were dismissed. Details of the scores are: ENGLAND

WIN FOR VICTORIA SHEFFIELD SHIELD MATCH MELBOURNE, Tuesday. In the Sheffield Shield cricket match to-day South Australia in their second innings against Victoria made 295 runs (Pellew 76, Whitfield 32, Scott 86 not out). Blackie took four wickets for 89 runs. Ironmonger one tor 62, Ebeling one for 39, Morton one for 39. Victoria won by 300 runs. VERY “ORDINARY” TEAM Reed. 10.10 a.m. SYDNEY, To-day. The Australian eleven for the fourday match with the Englishmen, beginning on Friday, has definitely been completed. Ryder Is not available. The team is as follows: Richardson (captain), Scott, Harris (South Australia). Nothling (Queensland). Andrews, Oldfield, Bettington, Morgan. Hooker, Jackson, Bradman (New South Wales). Scaife Is twelfth man. The team is regarded as very ordinary, and the Englishmen are not taking it very seriously. There is considerable Preßs controversy over the method of selection. EIGHT-DAY TESTS (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 9.45 a.m. LONDON, Thursday. “Plum” Warner, in the "Morning Post.” says 1447 tor 20, or an average | of 72 per wicket, is the argument for those advocating the abolition of the ! short-front pitch. • “It looks as If, given strong batting teams and fiDe weather, four days will rarely be sufficient to bring a match with Australia to its conclusion. “My view is that there is nothing wrong with the laws of cricket, but we should return to the normal wicket. Some of the coming tests may well last seven or eight days. “Kippax is now certain of a place in the Australian eleven. Bradman’s career is remarkable for one so young. He delights giving the bowler the rush, as A. G. Steel put it. Kippax and Bradman apparently mastered Freeman by going down the pitch to him.” • it
