SECOND TEST
GRIM STRUGGLE EXPECTED. HOW WILL ENGLAND FARE? AUSTRALIAN OPINION, BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. Received Dee. 30, 11.10 a.m. SYDNEY, Dec. 30. The attendance at the test match aggregated over 164,000, and the gate receipts exceeded £l6,ooo—both being records. The previous attendance record was 111,265. " The Herald comments: From the winning toss onwards throughout the run of the game rather favoured the Australians. With fortune smiling a little the other way, the game would have been much closer, and the result might even have been reversed. In other respects the match was one of the most remarkable tests ever played, especially in breaking and equalling records, its sensational collapses, unexpected situations, and recoveries, its series of wonderful partnerships, its duration, grim determination, and the fighting spirit of the players throughout. The second test will be a grim, interesting -struggle.
