Return Match Against N.S. W.

Bradman Out for One FINE STAND BY YOUTH OF TEAM United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright Received Thursday, 7 p.m. SYDNEY, Jan. 20. England’s return match against New South Wales commenced to-day, which is a hot summer’s day. The wicket favoured the batsmen. England’s team is Wyatt (captain), Pataudi, Ames, Leyiand, Brown, Hammond, Mitchell, Verity, Tate, Bowes, Duckworth with Larwood as twelfth mail. The Now South Wales team is as follow's : Kippax (captain), Bradman, Brown, Eingleton, Hill, Howell, Stewart, Cummins, Rowe, Chilvers, Lowe, and. Bennett (twelfth man). Eingleton and the nineteen years old Brown gave the side a good start adding 58 before the former was bowled around his legs. He was uncertain throughout being dropped when 5 oif Tate. Brown was also dropped at 5 off Bow T es. Bradman replaced Eingleton and swung wildly at a few balls he received until bowled by a good length delivery. Kippax was caught at silly leg oif a bumper from Bowes and tho backbone of the New South Wales side was back in the pavilion at lunch with only 67 on the board. Mitchell had taken 2 for 10 at lunch and improved this to 3 for 12 when in his first over after the adjournment, ho completely beat Cummins. The position was desperate when the left-hander Rowe, aged sixteen, partnered Brown. Rowe, his first representative game, raced to 40 in the even time of fifty. The partnership, of which Rowe contributed 37, took only 36 minutes. R-owe glanced and cut with precision and did not hesitate to lift the ball into tho unguarded outfield. He reached 50 in forty minutes. He was particularly severe on Tate. Brown, meanwhile, was batting mors confidently. His 50 occupied 125 minutes.

Tho total was 4 for 160 at 3.20, when a thunderstorm stopped play. After tea was taken at 4 p.m. the players took the field at 4.15, but before a ball was bowled rain drove them off for half an hour when play was resumed in a bad light.

Brown was caught in the slips without adding to his score. He had given a solid display with Rowe and retrieved the position for New South Wales. Lowe immediately appealed successfully against tho light and lator it was announced that stumps would bo drawn. The attendance was 23,238 and the takings £1651. Scores were : NEW SOUTH WALES.

Lord Hawke, presiding at a Yorkshire meeting, strongly condemned tho Lancashire League’s importation of Dominion cricketers, which is detrimental to international cricket. Now Zealand no sooner had come to the test match arena than three of her players were taken. BODYLINE BOWLING ENGLISH OPINION ADMITS ITS UNFAIRNESS LONDON, Jan. 25. The Manchester Guardian, in a subleader, recalls the protests against bodyline bowling heard in England long before the present tour of Australia. A fresh rule or interpretation seems necessary. The cancellation of the remaining Tests would be deplorable. The opportunity has arisen for the application of that English genius for unspoken compromise and there is also an opportunity to redeem cricket by an exhibition of good temper. The Guardian’s sentiments are fairly representative of the more conciliatory attitude now prevailing in responsible quarters.

CRICKET AND POLITICS NO REASON FOR BOYCOTTING GOODS LONDON, Jan. 25. “Let us keep cricket as a game and not mix it with politics,” writes Duleepsinhji, in the Star. “I cannot imagine Englishmen refusing to buy Australian meat and other goods because there has been ill-feeling over the game. My only objection to the leg theory is that it makes the game uninteresting.
