ENGLISHMEN IN SYDNEY. ’ FAILURE OF BRADMAN. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) b SYDNEY, Jan. 26. England’s return match against New South Wales commenced to-day in hot bf ' summer weather. The wicket favoured Rife;the batsmen. New South Wales batted pH; first, and had five wickets down for 169 f|| when stumps were drawn. The teams are as follow: p' England.—Wyatt (captain), Ames, Pataudi, Leyland, Brown, Hammond, Mitchell, Verity,- Tate, Bowes and Duckworth, with Larwood as twelfth Sp man. ftfe New South Wales.—Kippax (captain), V Bradman, Brown, Fingleton, Howell, ; Hill, Stewart, Cummins, Rowe, Olivers nnd Love, with Bennett as twelfth man. Fingleton and the 19-year-old Brown |||f'gave New South Wales a good start, scoring 58 before the former was bowlHed around his legs. He was uncertain throughout, being dropped when at 5 off ip Tate. Brown was also dropped when 5 off Bowes. fir Bradman replaced Fingleton and | 6wung wildly at the few balls lie received until bowled by a good length tyy delivery. Kippax was caught at silly leg off a bumper from Bowes, and the backbone of the New South Wales side was back in the pavilion by lunch time with only 67 on the board. Mitcholl had an average of two for 10 at lunch, and 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 16, partnered Brown. Rowe, who is playing his first j representative game, raced to 40 in even time. Bt. Fifty for the partnership, of which f Rowe contributed 37, took only 36 y" minutes. Rowe glanced and cut with precision, and did not hesitate to lift the ball into the unguarded outfield. He reached 50 in 40 minutes. He was particularly severe on Tate. Brown meanwhile was batting more confidently. His 50 occupied 125 minutes. The total was four wickets for 160 at 3.20 when a thunderstorm stopped play. The tea adjournment was taken at 4 o’clock and the players took the field at 4.15, but before a ball had been bowled rain drove them off for half an hour. Play was resumed in a bad light. Brown was caught in the slips without adding to his score. He had given a solid display, and with Rowe retrieved the position for New South Wales.

Love immediately appealed successfully against the light, and later it was announced that stumps would be drawn. The attendance was 23,238 and the takings £1651. Following are the scores : NEW SOUTH WALES.—First Innings.
