INNINGS DECLARED CLOSED N.S.Wj LOSE THREE FOR 521 United Frees Abbu. by El. Tel. Oopyrlsb* (Australian Press Association-) (Received Nov. 11, 5.5 p.m.) -'T SYNDEY, Nov. 11. The weather was cool and 'the wicket exxcellent, when the match between England and New South Wales was resumed. . Hammond and Hendren were again brilliant, the former showing great wristiness in his off-drives, and shots past point. He batted nearly five and a-half hours, and hit thirty fours and one six. When 111 he lunged at one from Hooker, snickering it wide off Nicholls at first slip, otherwise his innings was faultless to-day. Hendren’s innings ended sensationally. He lifted two successive balls from Bradman over the fence, and attempted another the next’delivery, when he was well caught in the outfield- He threw the wicket away apparently tired. Four wickets were now down for 596. „ Leyland played the ball to mid-off Hammond was unable to complete a run, Bradman returning the ball smartly to Oldfield. Hammond’s score. 225, is a record for an Englishman against New South Wales, beating Hayward’s 174 in the 1901 tour.

Leyland impressed by sound vigorous off-driving, scoring 47. , Ames batted neatly, but was beaten by a ball from Morgan, who had not previously bowled during the day. Chapman showed good tactics, in closing the innings, as the borne tearfi was tired, and the light was failing. The bowling was stingless on a fast wicket. Kelleway was the best. Gregory’s injured finger caused him to be inaccurate. The day ended sensationally. Tate who was bowling excellently, taking two wickets for 25 runs. Tbe attendance was 43,000 and the gate receipts were £4113—-both records for a New South Wales-Eng-land game. .

Jardine’s success finds critics overjoyed, pointing out that be is tbe only Englishman with such a performance in a first appearance in Australia. “Plum” Warner expressed the opinion that- he should return from Australia an almost perfect batsman. He thinks Kelleway will reappear in the tests. He said: ‘Today, all roads should lead to Sydney cricket ground—probably the most perfect in the world.” •
