CRICKET TEST DRAWN

AFRICANS CAUTIOUS Chance to Win Ignored (Aus. and N.Z. Cable Assn.) LONDON, July 30. In lite Test match, Bake well and Barber opened steadily against accurate bowling until Bakewell was beaten by a splendid backbreaker. Hammond too thirty-five minutes to score twelve. Leyland was agressive with off drives and leg hits. Apparently the public considered a draw inevitable, only eight thousand being present at lunch. Wyaitt and Hammond forced the pace after the adjournment. Vincent bowled for JlO minutes unchanged. The South Africans, seeing no chance of winning, batted with the utmost of caution, relieved by Rowan’s occasional boundaries. Th e dull play caused mild barracking, chiefly ot Mi'tehell.

The maitch. was drawn. The crowd barracked the South Africans for permitting the match to fizzle out. Critics condemn the dismissal finish and and criticise Wade for not sending in Cameron in an effort to snatch a win. The tame ending produced renewed attacks on WyatVs captaincy.
