The second test match,. South Africa v. Australia, commences at Melbourne to-day. Strange as it may seem, Clem; Hill and Warren Bardsley had never played together on the some side prior to the last test match at Sydney. And this pair of brilliant left-handers put on 224 in their first association, a Tecord second-wicket partnership in test cricket. The 404 runs, made mainly by the exertions of Bardsley, Hill and Gehfs, is a one day's record for a test match. As a matter of fact' it Has only twice been surpassed in Australian first-class cricket —by New South Wales (546) against Tasmania, who were dismissed for TS the same day, and by New South Wales (499) against South Australia. .
