THE SOUTH AFRICANS.

NEW SOUTH WALES MATCH. VISITORS MAKE 300 RUNS. HOME TEAM NO WICKETS FOR 76. By Telegraph.— Association. —Copyright. (Received November 18, 10.30 p.m.) Sydney, November 18. The South African cricketers began their match against New South Wales to-day in perfect weather. The attendance numbered about 6000.

Sherwell won the toss, and elected to bat, the wicket being hard and fast. Zulch and Strieker opened to the bowling of Cotter and Kellaway, both playing carefully. Strieker seemed to be uncomfortable against Cotter's fast deliveries. Zulch was more free, but showed a tendency to play back. When at fourteen, however, he went forward to Kellaway and snicked to Folkard at long slip, who held. Two overs later Snooke, who scored six, played an exactly similar stroke, and Emery took the catch.

Nourse joined Strieker, and Hordern relieved Cotter at the bowling crease. Nourse punished, the slow bowler, and after two overs MacCtrtney took the ball from Hordern, Folkard being at the other end. Runs came slowly with an occasional brilliant stroke by Nourse, who was cutting splendidly. Strieker's batting was less interesting. He, however, punished anything loose, and 50 was reached after an hour's batting. At 54 Emery changed places with MacCartney. In Emery's second over Nourse tipped a ball, and was cleverly caught by Kellaway at close slip. Faulkner followed, and showed dash and brilliance, immediately glancing Emery to the fence. Strieker, after being two hours and 20 minutes at the wickets, was clean bowled by Kellaway for 73. He had Hit 10 fours.. Llewellyn followed, and batted with freedom, but Folkard clean bowled him at 13. Schwartz came next, Folkard clean howling him first ball. Faulkner severely punished anything short or on the leg, his best stroke being a pretty leg glance. Vogler, after scoring 12, tried to play back a fast one from Cotter, and was bowled. The second century appeared after four hours 13 minutes' play. Pearse joined Faulkner, and they livened up the play considerably. Pearse hit a sixer off Hordern. Faulkner had just passed Strieker's score when Emery yorked his middle stump. He had hit 12 fours. Commaille went out leg before wicket to Kellaway before scoring. Sherwell, the captain, went in last, on account of' Buffering from a cold. At 45 Pearse drove Kellaway hard, and the bowler made a brilliant catch, all being out for 300. The innings had occupied five hours 31 minutes. Trumper and Bardeley opened the New South Walk} innings to the bowling of Nourse and Vogler. Both played confidently and well, and scored 76 in 42 minutes. J Following are the scores — | J SOUTH AFRICA— Innings.
