THE SOUTH AFRICANS BATTING. . By Cable —Press Association —Copyright. Received 18. G. 40 p.m. Sydney, November IS. There was magnificent weather for the match between the South Africans and New South Wales. The attendance was 0000, good for an oft' day. Shcrwell won the toss, and elected to bat. The wicket was hard and fast. Zulch ana Strieker opened to the bowling of Cotter and Kelleway. Both played carefully,

but Strieker was uncomfortable against Cotter's fast deliveries. Zulch was freer, but showing a tendency to plav back. When he had scored fourteen, however, he went forward to Kelleway and I snicked one to Folkard at long slip, who held. Two overs later, Snooke, who had scored six. played an exactly similar stroke, and Emery took the catch. When Nourse joined Strieker, Hordern relieved Cotter. Nourse punished the slow bowler, and after two overs McCartney took the ball, Folkard going on

at the other end. Runs came slowly, with an occasional brilliant stroke by Nourse, who was cutting splendidly. Strieker was less interesting. He, however, punished anything loose. The score reached 50 after an hour. At 54, Emery went on in place of McCartney, and in his second over Nourse tipped the ball, and was cleverly caught bv Kelleway at close slip. Faulkner followed, and showed dash and brilliancy, immediately glancing Emery to the I fence. Strieker, after batting two hours and twenty minutes, was clean bowled by Kelleway for 70. He had hit ten fours. Llewellyn followed, and batted with freedom, but Folkard clean bowled him at 13. Schwarz was the next man, and Folkavd clean bowled him first ball. Faulkner severely punished anything short or on the leg, his best stroke being a pretty leg glance. Vogler, after scoring 12. tried to play back a fast one from Cotter, and was bowled.
