SYDNEY. 13th November

The cricket match England versus New South Wales was resumed in warm weather on a good wicket.

The New South Wales pair, Jackson and Kippax, played neatly, showing many crisp strokes, though Larwood’s, Freeman’s and Tate’s bowling prevented rapid run getting. After they had added 43, foolish hesitation by Jackson between the wickets enabled Hammond to beat him with a leturn to Ames, and Jackson was run out after a nice knock.

Bradman started well, and gradually the pair got on top of the bowling, runs coming freely. Bradman was dashing and Kippax a: tislie. They were together till the ten adjournment —when the score read, three wickets down foi- 253.

Kippax ran into bis century in 154 minutes.

Jariliuo’s slow balls were particularly weak and runs came freely. Bradman compiled 100 in 128 minutes, giving a great display with many glorious shots. He received long and sustained applause. Bradman is only the third New Sou to Wales man lo score a century at the first appearance against Englishmen A duststorm at this stage caused a bad light, and towards the close of the game many non-bowlers were tided. Stumps wore drawn at 5.35 o’clock. Kippax batted 207 and Bradman 150 minutes. Each hit fourteen fours arid both were chanceless innings. This partnership was responsible for 249 runs for the fourth wicket, which is a record for New South Wales againstEngland, beating the Macartney-An-drews combination for 133, about eight yc-ars ago.

The batting was always superior, except for a short period after the game was resumed, when Morgan and Andrews were dismissed. The attendance was 7100 and reccipls £159. The match was drawn. Scores:— ENGLAND Eiist Timings, seven wickets, (declared) for 73 1 NEvV SOUTH WALES

COMMENT BY P. E. WARNER

(Received 14th November, 10.40 a.m.) LONDON, 13th November.

P. F. Warner, iju the ‘'Morning Post”, says: “1447 runs for twenty wickets, or an average of 72 per wicket, is an argument for those advocating the abolition of a- shirt front pitch. It looks as it. given strong batting teams and fins weather, four days will rarely be sufficient to bring a match in Australia to a conclusion. “My view is that there is nothing wrong with the laws of cricket, but we should return to a normal wicket. Some of tin* coining tests may well last seven or eight days. “Kippax is now certain of a place m the Australian eleven. Bradman’s career is remarkable for one so young. Tie delights in ‘giving the bowler the v.ush’ as A. O. Steel put it. Kippax and Bradman have apparently mastered Freeman bv going down the pitch to him.
