ENGLAND’S SMALL TOTAL

Side Dismissed By N.S.W. for 153

MUDGE TAKES SIX WICKETS

(united press association —COPYRIGHT.) (Received November 15, 7.5 p.m.) SYDNEY, November 14. The weather was cool and the wicket in good order for the resumption of the cricket match between England and New South Wales. The visitors continued their innings and were dismissed for 153 runs, Mudge taking six wickets. With McCabe indisposed with leg strain, McGilvray captained New South Wales. White bowled the first over to enable Hynes to change ends, and the second ball found Fagg with his leg in front of the wicket. Thus England’s opening batsmen failed again. Hammond immediately attacked Hynes and McGilvray, fast and fast-medium bowlers respectively, driving them powerfully through the covers, which were reinforced and set deeper. Barnett, too, was appreciating the bowling, until at 50, which he registered in even time, O'Reilly was brought on. He had Barnett and /Hammond in difficulties straight away, and twice nearly bowled Hammond. It was Mudge, however, who broke the partnership, which was worth 78 runs. Hammond had been trying desperately to “deal with ’ Mudge’s slow leg-breaks. Finally he jumped out to an innocent looking delivery. He missed and was smartly stumped. Leyland Caught Leyland accompanied Barnett to the wickets after lunch, and he, too, after a vain, attempt to get Mudge away, tried to hit him out of the ground and was caught on the fence. Hardstaff survived a leg before appeal by O’Reilly, and was dropped in the same over off the same bowler, but succumbed in O'Reilly’s next over, when he cocked a ball up to one of the leg tx - ao fieldsmen. Fishlock and Worthington each lasted only a few balls, and with six wickets down for 107, England was in an unhappy position. Mudge at this stage had three wickets for 15 runs, arid O’Reilly two for 3.0. Barnett, who during tne debacle had been hitting nicely, missed when well out of the crease. He hit eight fours during 143 minutes batting. Allen was out first ball, and Mudge now had five wickets for 25, which he made six for 36 when Ames was caught in the covers. O Reilly bowled Copson, who had previously lifted Mudge for six, and the rout of the Englishmen was complete after 165 minutes. O’Reilly bowled very well, but Mudge’s figures were flattering. The New South Wales fielding was first c i ass . The New South Wales batsmen then set about consolidating the strong position which a lead ot 12U on the first innings had given them. Fingleton made a bright 42 and Mudge and Marks scored all round the wicket before falling victims to the English captain. Stumps were drawn at 5.45 p.m. because of bad light. The attendance was 24,210. Scores: — NEW SOUTH WALES 273 First innings Second Innings J. H. Fingleton. Ibw. b Hammond 42 H Mudge c Barnett, b Allen .. A. E. Marks, b Allen •• " i R.
