BRADMAN IN FORM

N.S.W. V. SOUTH AFRICA

ANOTHER DOUBLE CENTURY

STATE'S BIG SCORE

United Tress Association—By Electric Talegraph— Copyright. SYDNEY, 7th December. Glorious weather prevailed for the start of the return cricket match, New South Wales v. South Africa.. The wicket was easy.

The visitors captured two wickets for 14 runs, but Bradmau and M'Cabo then took a hand and raised the total to 102 in eighty minutes before M'Cabe was splendidly caught. Batting with his usual freedom, Bradinan continued to give a delightful exhibition. Ho was particularly severe on M'Millan. The scoring was fast, 150 taking 127 minutes, although five wickets had fallen by this time. Bradman's century occupied the same length of time. Oldfield played the captain's part, staying with Bradinan while 99 was added for the sixth wicket. Tho bowling was never really loose, but Bradman continued at a terrific pace with shots to all parts of the field, his chanceless 819 taking only 234 minutes.; He hit fifteen 4's. Hird and Hunt also batted well, and completed the recovery. The teams were as follows: —

South Africa.—Cameron, Morkel, Christy, Viljoen, Curnow, Mitchell, Balaskas, M'Millan, Quinn, Vincent, and Bell.
