SYDNEY, November 15.

The weather was cool and the wicket i • in good order for the resumption of| the England v. New South Wales, cricket match yesterday. The attend-j ance was 24,210. In reply to their i opponents' score of 273 England, whose | overnight score was one for 0, made 153. New South Wales in the second Innings, had made 122 for four wickets at stumps. With McCabe indisposed owing to a strained groin, McGilvray captained New South Wales. -White bowled the first over to enable Hynes to change ends, and his second ball found Fagg with his leg in front of the wicket. Thus England's openers again- failed. Hammond. .immediately : attacked Hynes and McGilvray, fast and fastmedium bowlers respectively, driving them powerfully .through ■ the covers, which were reinforced and set deeper. Barnett, too, was appreciating the bowling until at 50, which was registered in even time, O'Reilly was brought on. MUDGE GETS HAMMOND. He had Barnett and Hammond in difficulties straight away, and twice nearly bowled Hammond. It was Mudge, however, who broke;the. partnership, which was worth 78 runs. , Hammond, who had been trying desperately to deal with Mudge's . slow, leg-breaks, jumped out to an innocent-looking delivery, ' missed, and was smartly stumped. Leyland accompanied Barnett to the wickets after lunch, and he, too, after a vain attempt to get Mudge. away, tried to hit him out of the ground and was caught on the fence. Hardstaff survived a leg-before appeal by O'Reilly and was dropped in the same over off the same bowler, but succumbed in Olßeilly's next. over when he cocked a. ball- up,to one of the legtrap fieldsmen. Fishlock and Worthington each lasted only a few balls, and with six down for 107 England were in ■an unhappy position. Mudge at this' stage had three for 15 arid O'Reilly two for 30. Barnett, who,, during the debacle, had been batting nicely, missed a ball when well out of his crease-and was stumped. He hit eight 4's durinjg one hundred and forty-three minutes', batting. ROUT COMPLETED. Allen was out first ball, and Mudge now had five for 25, which he made six for 36 when Ames was caught in the covers. .' O'Reilly bowled Copson, who had previously lifted Mudge for 6, arid the rout of the Englishmen was coriiplete after one hundred and sixtyfive minutes. O'Reilly . bowled very well, but Mudge's'figures.were flattering. The' New; South Wales fielding was- first-class. The New. South Wales batsmen then set about consolidating the strong position which a lead of 120 ;6n the first innings had given them. Fingleton made a bright 42 and Mudge and Marks scored all round the wicket before falling victims to 'the- -English captain. Stumps were drawn at 5.45 p.m. owing to bad light. McCabe has decided that'he will be unable to.play in the Australian eleven to meet tiie'. Englishmen on Friday. Details:— ___.' _E ''~ ' NEW SOUTH WALES. First innings ; 273 Second Innings.
