HOIST WITH THEIR OWN PETARD.
HORDERN'S GOOGLIES
SYDNEY, Feb. 2'i.
The "Telegraph" says: "A feature,of the test match was Hordern's bowling; His success will dissipate any soreness of other States over his inclusion. It is remarkable that while the South Africans rely on this type of bowling, they make such a poor showing against it. He is a true googlie, inasmuch as he turns the ball both ways with legbreak action, and also sends in straight balls with the same action. Faulkner is carrying the rest of the team. Armstrong's 132 was a remarkable effort, inasmuch as he was frequently stuck up by Schwarz. He is now nearer mastering that bowler than when he first met him."
