AUSTRALIA’S NEW BOWLER TEST-INCLUSION PROSPECTS [BY CABLE —PBESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] SYDNEY, February 17. Lush, the 23-year-old New South Wales fast bowler, continuing his great run of success .against English batsmen, dismissed Ames, Farnes and Copson with the*, second, third and fifth balls of his ’third over '-finishing off England’s second innings for 299 in summary ’ style. NewSouth Wales won by 105 runs. Ames and Duckworth had carried the unfinished eighth-wicket partnership to 54, but at 290 Ames, who had made. 60 rugs,. including,seven fours, in 90 minuteb, fiiistimed/'a ! drive off Lush and was caught behind point. Thp next ball, a yorker, bowled Farnes. Lush missed the hat trick and then bowled Copson off his pads. Lush finished with seven wickets for 72, following his six for 43 in the first innings.

LUSH’S OPPORTUNITY. (Recd. February 18, 8 a.m.) ' SYDNEY, • February 17. Macartney’s comment to-night is mainly directed.,to the Sheffiield match ? . between New South Wales and 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 moulded into a player of international class. He has a great future if he follows right lines. I am quite certain that Bradman will keep a close eye on him in the match against South Australia.
