NEW SOUTH WALES WINS

ENGLAND BEATEN BY IDS RUNS YOUNG BOWLER'S RUN OF SUCCESS SEVEN WICKETS FOR 72 Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright SYDNEY, February 17. Lush, the 23-year-old New South Wales fast bowler, continuing a great run of success against the English batsmen, dismissed Ames, Fames, and Copson with the second, third, and fifth balls of his third over to-day, finishing off the innings in summary style. Ames and Duckworth had carried their unfinished eighth-wicket partnership to 54, but at 299 Ames, who made 60 runs, including seven 4’s, in 80 minutes, mistimed a drive off Lush and was caught behind point. The next ball, a yorker, bowled Fames. Lush missed the hat trick and then bowled Copson off his pads. Lush finished with seven wickets for 72, following six for 43 in the first innings. He bowled to-day with fine speed and good control of length. It remains to be seen if the performance will force him into the fifth test team, which will be chosen at the week-end, after two days’ play in the matqh New South Wales against South Australia at Sydney, in which Lush will be opposed by Bradman.

New South Wales won by 105 runs. AN ALL-ROUND CRICKETER SYDNEY, February 17. O- G. Macartney’s comment to-night, is mainly directed to the Sheffield Shield match New South Wales v. South Australia, beginning on Friday, and its bearing on the final test. He says: “ Lush had a wonderful match against England. It matters little whether his wickets were secured by bad balls or whether his bowling was erratic. He has shown himself to be an all-round cricketer of such _ good quality that he can be mbulded into; a player of international class. He has a great future if he follows the fight lines. I am quite certain-that Bradman will keep a close eye on him in the match against South Australia.” ALLEN AND FLEETWOOD-SMITH RESTING SYDNEY,, February IS.
