CRICKET.

M.C.C. V. N.S.W.

HOME TEAM BATTING WELL,

(uXITED PKZSS ASSOCIATION —BT ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH —COPYHIGHT.) (Received November 13th, 7.25 p.m.) SYDNEY, November 13. The match England v. New South Wales was resumed in warm weather on a good picket. The New South Wales-pair, Jackson and Kippax, played neatly, showing many crisp strokes, though Larwood, Freeman, and Tate's bowling prevented rapid run-getting. After they had added 43, foolish hesitation by Jackson between the wickets enabled Hammond to beat him with a return to Ames, and Jackson was run out after a nice knock.

Bradman started well, and gradually the pair got on top of the bowling, the runs coming freely. Bradinan was dashing and Kippax artistic. They were together till the tea interval, when the score .read three wickets down for 253.

Kippax ran into his century in 2hrs 34 minutes. Jardine's slow balls were particularly weak, and runs came freely. Bradman compiled 100 in 2hrs 8 minutes, giving a great display with many glorious shots. He received long-sustained applause. He is only the third New South "Wales man to score a century at a first appearance against the Englishmen.

A dust storm at this stage caused bad light, and towards the close of the game many non-bowlers were tried. Stumps were drawn at 5.35. Kippax batted for 3hrs 27 minutes, and Bradman for 2hrs 30 minutes. Each hit 14 fours and played a chanceless innings. This partnership was responsible for 249 for the fourth wicket, which is a record for New South. "Wales against England, beating tho Macartney-Andrews combination of 138 about eight years ago. The batting was always superior, except for a short period after the game resumed, when Morgan and Andrews were dismissed. The attendance was 7100, and receipts totalled £159. The match was drawn.

P. F. WARNER'S COMMENT,

(Received November 13th, 5.5 p.m.)

LONDON t November 12. P. F Warner, writing in the "Morning Post," says: "Probably Bradman's 87 gave most satisfaction to New South Wales; following on his double century against Queensland. He must be a strong candidate to play in the Tests. My earlier tip that Kelleway may obtain a place looks like coming off. On recent form the two best bowlers in Australia seem to be Blackie and Ironmonger."—Australian Press Association.
