THE N.S.W. MATCH. -^ Association—B.y Telegraph—Copyright.. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. SYDNEY, November 22. " .(Received November 22, at 12.5 p.m.) _ There is the keenest speculation regard-' mg the result of this cricket match. Though the Englishmen hold the better hand, a great finishing struggle is anticipated, in which anything may happen. The chief comment of the papers is the remarkable success of the bowlers on a perfect batting wicket, when big scoring appeared assured. Gregory is acclaimed a liero-as-a batsman. He made runs when fortune seemed set against the home team, and as a bowler was a tower of strength, while he also caught two of the visiting batsmen. The..fielding.on both, sides was high-class; if anything, the New South Wales men's -was a bit smarter and cleaner. The ' Telegraph J says that the match has been one of upsets. It wjl bo necessary to revise our original estimate of the visitors. Ihe weather is fine and hot for the third day's play. THE "MORE GINGER" FLEA. SYDNEY, November 22. j Douglas, captain of the English team, j referring in Saturday's cable, said he is always ready to accept advice, but in this particular instance lie is in a better posi- • tion to judge what is best under the cir- J cumstaiices than those 13,000 miles away.
