DURBAN.

South Africa crushed Australia by an innings and 129 runs in the second cricket test on Monday, to go two up in the four-match series.

Australia, faced with the almost impossible task of scoring 465 runs to avoid an innings defeat, was all out for 336 in its second innings.

The tourists provided early; resistance when K. Stackpole; and K. D. Walters put on 511 after resuming in the morn ing at 100 for two Then Walters and I. R Redpalh added a further 57 runs for the fourth wicket and there was another lucrative 68-run ninth-wicket stand between Redpatb and J. Gleeson. BARLOW AGAIN But these patches of defiance could not prevent the inevitable, which was brought closer by another bowling blitz from the medium-paced E. J. Barlow, who snapped up three wickets before tea to send Australia crashing from 264 for five to 268 for eight It was Barlow who began Australia’s first innings collapse with three wickets in 10 balls.

Walters spearheaded Aus-j tralia’s fight-back with 74 in 176 minutes, including eight fours and a six. Stackpole | was more subdued, but he; gave Walters valuable sup-! port in adding 16 runs to his! overnight score before falling lbw to J. Traicos for 71, made! in 235 minutes REDPATH ALONE Redpath stood alone as fouF more wickets tumbled, three!' of them to Barlow, but he and Gleeson, who was out for 24,j' made South Africa fight to the ! end. Redpath, who batted 259 minutes, was 74 not out.l' The third test is in Johan-J nesburg, from February 19-24, ■ and the fourth in Port Elizabeth, from March 5-10. ) SOUTH AFRICA j First Innings 622/9 dec. j AUSTRALIA First Innings - ■ 157
