O'REILLY TAKES SIX WICKETS

CAPETOWN, March 14,

Ideal conditions prevailed for the commencement of the match to-day between the Australian Test cricket team and Western Province. The home team batted first, being dismissed for 198.

' Grimmett, McCabe and Fleetwood-Smith were omitted from the Australian team. The opposing side included the veteran South African international players H. Taylor and A. D. Nourse. The lastnamed is father of the present South African Test player.

Nourse played sound cricket for 55, his display being reminiscent of his best form of over 20 years ago. He was ably 6upported>by Vandcrspuy, who scored 28 not out. O'Reilly again proved destructive, taking six wickets for 35.

When the Australians batted, Richardson was missed in the slips off the first ball of the innings. Australia had scored 37 without loss at stumps. Scorcs:— WESTERN PROVINCE.—First Innings.
