Chilvers and Lush Cricket Heroes

Fine Bowling Skittles English Wickets THE GAME WITH N.S.W. United Press Association—-.By Electric Telegraph.—Copyr igh t. Received Monday, 10.30 p.m. SYDNEY, Feb. 15. Tho wicket was covered when rain fell and this morning was in splendid order for tho resumption of the game against New South Wales but tho English wickets fell quickly. Lush, the vimful young fast bowler, made his figures three wickets for seven runs when Duckworth was caught behind in his first over. Hardstaff joined Leyland but when nine swng Ohilvers, the slow bowler, into the hands of Robinson at square leg. Four wickets were now down for 43 runs. Two more wickets fell without any addition, Leyland, trying to turn a straight ball, was bowled by Lush, while, after a scoreless nine minutes, Ames played over a good delivery. Lush then had five for 18 and after Chilvers, who was accurate, had both Robins and Sims smartly stumped by Oldfield, and Fames caught at deep mid-off, Lush, whose pace had slackened, bowled Wyatt, ending tho last wicket partnership for 23. England was dismissed by lunch after 113 minutes for a paltry 73 ruus. Lush had excellent control of length and direction to-day, while Chilvers bowled five successive maidens and fin ished with tho remarkable figures of four wickets for two ruus. Home of the English batting appeared lethargic ana the tail was weak.

Now South Wales’ second innings commenced poorly, Boattie and Hynes who were promoted in the batting order, both going in I'arnes’ second over, but McCabe and Fingleton, in a sterling third wicket partnership, got on top of the bowling. McCabe began carelessly but settled down to play attractively, and exploiting the pull shot freely, raced ahead of . Fingleton. He reached 50 in 77 minutes before tea when the score was 108 —McCabe 5(5. Fingleton *l4. Fingleton livened up but wheu 60 after 130 minutes, snicked Worthington to Duckworth. The partnership realisod 135 in 108 minutes. Robinson brightly compiled 25 then he threw his wicket away. McCabe, after reaching 93, gloriously batting for 142 minutes including nine boundaries, lifted .Sims high to long-on where Barnett caught the ball. Jackson fell a victim to Copson and at stumps six were out for 205. Chipperfield was unable to bat. An X-ray shows that he has broken a smali bone in his jaw and will be unable to play for a month.
