SHEFFIELD SHIELD
N.S.W. V. SOUTH AUSTRALIA (United Press Association.—Copyright.) SYDNEY, 6th January. The Sheffield Shield match, New South Wales against South Australia, commenced to-day. The local side, battiug first, made 291 (Jackson 131, Andrews 44). Scott took two wickets for 57, Wall four for 51, and Grimmett two for 100. South Australia, in the first innings, had three wickets down for 62 (Ryan not out 30) when stumps were drawn. The weather was fine, and the wicket, which was covered overnight during rain, was easy. New South Wales failed badly, the wickets falling rapidly, only two batsmen, Jackson and Andrews, making anything like a stand. The batting was very dull on a dead wicket, but after luncheon the wicket was much faster, and the partnership of Jackson and Andrews carried the score along much more quickly. Jackson was the outstanding batsman of the day. Although he batted very slowly before luncheon, afterwards he played a splendid innings, and saved New South Wales from a debacle. South Australia opened sensationally, a wicket being down first ball, and a few minutes later the second wicket fell. Ryan then, playing carefully, stopped the rot.
