N.S. WALES v. ENGLAND

COLTS BAT WELL BRADMAN FAILS [by CABLE —PBESS ASSN. —COPYBIGHT.] SYDNEY, January 26. England’s return match against New South Wales was commenced on a hot summer’s day. The wicket favoured the batsmen. England’s team is: Wyatt (captain), Pataudi, Ames, Leyland, Brown, Hammond, Mitchell, Verity, Tate, Bowes and Duckworth, with Larwood as twelfth man. Fingleton, and a nineteen-year-old player, Brown, gave their side a good start, adding 58 runs before the former was bowled around his legs. Fingleton was uncertain throughout, he being dropped when five off Tate. Brown was also dropped at five off Bowes. Bradman replaced Fingleton, and he swung wildly at the few balls which he received until he was bowled by a good length delivery. Kippax was caught at silly leg off a “bumper” from Bowes, and thus the backbone of the New South Wales side was back in the pavilion at lunch with only 67 on the board.

Mtchell had an average of two for 10 at lunch, and he improved this to three for 12 when, in his first over after the adjournment, he completely beat Cummins.

The position was desperate when the left-hander, Rowe, aged only 16, partnered Brown. Rowe, who is playing his first representative game, raced to 40' in even time. A fifty partnership, of which Rowe contributed 37, took only 36 minutes. Rowe glanced and cut with precision. He did not hesitate to lift, the ball into the unguarded outfield. He reached fifty in forty minutes. He was particularly severe on Tate. Brown* meanwhile, was batting more confidently. His fifty occupied 125 minutes. The total was four for 160 at 3.20, when a thunderstorm stopped Play.

Tea was taken at four, and the players took the field at 4.15, but before a ball had been bowled, rain drove them off for half an. hour. When play resumed there was bad light. Brown was caught in the slips without adding to his scored. He had given a solid display, and with Rowe had retrieved the position for New South Wales. Love immediately appealed successfully against the light. Later it was announced that stumps would be drawn. The attendance was 23,238, and the takings £1651. Scores: NEW SOUTH WALES—First Innings.

(Received January 27, 3.30 p.m.) SYDNEY, January 27. The weather is humid, and the wicket damp. New South Wales scored 180 (Rowe 70, Love 4, Hill 0, Chilvers 4, Howell 0, Stewart 0.) “IMPORTATIONS” DENOUNCED. (Received January 27, 8 a.m.) LONDON, January 26. Lord Hawke, presiding at the Yorkshire meeting, strongly condemned the Lancashire League’s importation of Dominion cricketers, which, he said, was detrimental to international cricket. New Zealand had no sooner come to the Test match arena, than three of her players were taken.
