SYDNEY, 17th: November.

Following rain last night, the morning was fine and hot. The wicket rolled out beautifully, and Now South Wales commenced its second knock in the cricket match with the South Africans on a real batsman's pitch. , ,

South Africa declared with the 6vernight score of three wickets down for 190.

The opening batsmen presented a broad blade to the early attack, and were together at lunch with 80 on- the board. Bill went in the first over after lunch.

One hundred runs appear-ed in 110 minutes. Cameron's declaration had left the home side with 448 to win- in 300 minutes, and at this rate of scoring there was no chance. of doing it, but Bradman came in and belted the bowling to all parts of-the ground.

Despite Fingleton's 95-minute start, Bradman reached 50 first, mainly as a result of eight 4's. His next 50 took only 33 minutes. The bowling was now completely collared, and at tea the total was 245 for one wicket. Bradman continued to rattle the pickets, and reached his century in even time. Fingleton was in for 215 minutes for his 100. At 297 Bradman was caught. He batted 128 minutes, and hit fifteen 4's. Then Fingleton, like Bradman, went out while attempting a big hit. M'Cabe and Marks pasted the tired bowling, and in an exciting finish New South Wales failed by 18 runs to overtake the Springboks before the match ■ended in a draw. Details:— SOUTH AFRICA.
