A HEAVY SCORE

BRILLIANT BATTING BY NEW SOUTH WALES BRADMAN AND KIPPAX GET CENTURIES BRITISH BOWLING & FIELDING WEAK (United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) (Rec. November 22, 10.15 p.m.) Sydney, November 22. Having 453 runs on the scoring board and five wickets in hand, New South Wales has set the Marylebone team a solid task. The weather was glorious, and the wicket perfect Bradman treated the 10,375 spectators to a brilliant exhibition of scoring, making a chanceless 157 in 175 minutes. Sixteen boundaries were included in his total. He attacked the bowling from the outset, and treated all alike. He scored at double the rate of his partners, Jackson and Kippax. The former was never comfort able, and succumbed to a smart catch behind the wicket Kippax was more subdued than usual, and had several lives. After tea, however, he and Marks treated the tired bowling with scant respect, and' Kippax brought up his century with two beautiful 4’s. He was then caught in the outfield by Dawson. Allsopp is playing in his first big game, and proved himself a fine cricketer. The bowling of the visitors was never impressive, and the fielding was very lax, Duleepsinhji being a brilliant exception. The English team consisted of Gilligan, Dawson, Turnbull, Legge, Duleepsinhji, Bowley, Woollqy, Worthington, Allom, Barratt, and Benson. The following are the scores:— NEW SOUTH WALES. First Innings. Fairfax, Lb.w., b Allom 14 Jackson, c Benson, b Allom ..... 49 Bradman, b Worthington 157 Kippax, c Dawson, b Bowley .... 108 Marks, c and b Bowley 38 Allsopp, not but 47 McCabe, not out 16 Extras 24 Total for five wickets 453 QUEENSLAND MATCH TO BE PLAYED RESTRICTED TO THREE DAYS (Rec.

Andrew Ducat, Queensland’s English coach, will be included in the visiting side if Marylebone is agreeable.
