N.S.W. MAKES 231

Good Stand by Colts, Lush and Jackson

ENGLAND LOSES TWO MEN CHEAPLY (t'SIIBD PKESS ASSOCIATION—COPTEIOHT.) (Received February 14, 8.30 p.m.) SYDNEY, February 14. The beginning of the match between England and New South Wales was delayed half an hour because the turf near the wicket was sodden. New South Wales was expected to score well against England's limited attack, but the wicket soon showed a pace which was not expected. Beattie, after two splendid boundary hooks off Fames, attempted another, mis-timed it, and was bowled. Worthington soon relieved Copson, and McCabe weakly'.pushed a ball to Fames at forward leg. The third wicket fell at 26, when Fingleton was caught behind the wicket in Farnes's fourth over, and at 32 Robinson ran himself out.

Fames bowled with a fresh breeze, and had much life. Copson, although, not successful in taking wickets, made the ball rise sharply, but the experienced Chipperfield and the colt Jackson survived till lunch, when the score was 40. . ~ There was a bright change for the steadily-increasing crowd after mticn when Chipperfield batted breezily making vigorous hooks and drives oil the fast bowlers. From one over by Fames, Chipperfield scored 12, but when 37 he mistimed a hook, was struck on the face, and trod on his wicket. He was assisted from the field in a dazed condition. . , The colts, Jackson and Lush, were associated in a splendid partnership after Lush, when 11, had been missed by Ames in the slips off Copson, but Jackson, when 42, was caught m the slips off Robins. He batted for 101 minutes. At the tea interval the score was 170 for six wickets (Lush 43).

Sensational Opening Lush was dismissed at 49 after 96 minutes' batting. He played splendidly after settling down. The tailenders took the total to 231, Sims taking the last four wickets. England's period of 35 minutes batting proved sensational. The young fast bowler, Lush, after a wild first over, had Worthington sensationally caught near the boundary by the twelfth man. S. Barnes. Later, Bainett was caught at second slip when he protected his head from a bumping (delivery. Duckworth stayed with Leyland till stumps. Lush has taken two wickets for seven runs.

PRAISE FOR LUSH

DIFFICULT WICKET AND ' GOOD BOWLING

(Received February 15, 12.41 a.m.) SYDNEY, February 14. C. G. Macartney, commenting on the match between the Marylebone Cricket Club and New South Wales, says: "In

spite of the moderate score by New South Wales the team's position is at present satisfactory. The early collapse was due to good bowling on a difficult wicket. Later the batsmen gave a refreshing exhibition of vigorous hitting combined in several cases with good forward footwork. "The wicket improved considerably after lunch. Beattie, Fingleton, and McCabe all fell to wicket peculiarities. The ball popped and jumped viciously and had the batsmen guessing from the outset.

"The Chipperfield-Jackson and Jack-son-Lush partnerships retrieved a bad situation. Lush is by nature a forceful batsman. He should never depart from that style. His attractive innings augurs well for his future. Chipperfield was attacking well when he received a dangerous blow in the face through trying to achieve a hook stroke.

"The running between the wickets was generally good, as was the Englishmen's fielding. "Fames was always dangerous. Sims and the other bowlers used swing and spin in an endeavour to exploit the wicket to the best advantage. "Lush gathered the wickets of Worthington and Barnett with short balls, which possessed considerable pace."

ENGLISH BATSMAN HAS RHEUMATIC FEVER

m ADELAIDE, February 13. The English batsman, A. H. Fagg, is still in hospital suffering from rheumatic fever. It is not known when he will be able to rejoin the team.
