CRICKET.

THE FIFTH TEST. [Br Electiuc Telegraph—CopyniGaT.] (Peb Piiess Association.) Received March 0, at 5.5 p.m. Sydney, March 4. To-dav was line and warm, Hip wicket assisting the bowlers. Bardsley and Whittv resumed, and several maidens WW howled. Whitty increased his s'-ore. to thirteen, and was brilliantly caudit bv Nour.se at deep square-leg off Llewellyn. Trumper opened with three fours, and 300 appeared in 223 minutes. Siiortlv afterwards Bardsley tipped a hall back to Sinclair. lie scored 94 in 137 minutes and made nine fours. He had obviously not recovered from the iniurv he had received, his hand shakin>' ai'ter hard .strokes. His innings was chanceless. Hill .scored one, and gave a chance of stumping, but the ball came low. and Sherwell failed to secure it. This was the lirst opportunity which Sherwell had missed in Sydney. Trumper .scored 31 in flood style. He stepped out to a bin off-break of Sehwarz, and was bowled! He hit five fours. Two balk later Armstrong was caught by l'earse off Sehwarz before scoring. In the next over Sehwarz captured Hill, who stepped out and missed, being stumped. Sherwell, like lightning, repeated this with Cotter in the followover, and again in the r.est with Hansford. This was the best display of wicket-keeping seen for a long time. Schwa rz's average to-day was live for six. He bowled a tremendous off-break with a leg-break action, and seemed to six overs "Hordern was put on bowling. Zulch and Pear.se opened for South Africa to Cotter and "Whitty. The latter bowled Pearse before scoring. After six overs Hodern was put on bowling. Zulch jumped out to one of his googlies, fell, and was stumped. Faulkner and Nourse. the partners in the last match, were then together. The scoring was slow. Armstrong relieved Kelleway, and with his fifth ball bowled Nourse, who batted 33 minutes for three. Faulkner scored 50 in 75 minutes. A few minutes later he was bowled by Armstrong. He hit six fours. Sinclair attempted to liven things, and pulled one of Hordern's googlies to Hansford, who made a brilliant catch at the boundary. The ball swerved several yards. Hordern was very puzzling, even the wicket-keeper not knowing what way he ' was going to break, was frequently beaten: Snooke scored 18 and then jumped out to Hordern, swiped, miSsed, vahd was bowled. Strieker scored very slowly, batting fifty minutes for 19. He then attempted'to drive Hordern and lifted him to Macartney at mid-off. Sehwarz was next, and received ; aii ovation • for., his bowling; He scored -13 -and-nvas then run out: He drove hard,.'and- thinking the ball had passed Cotter, ran. Cotter, made a wonderful stop, aid his return hit the wicket.-" '-'- • _• was the next to- go. He batted souhdly-.f0r.24, and itipped:K.elleway to. the- wicket-keeper, who Held. Pegler did not "score. •Sherwell- skied the next hall from Whitty to Bardsley, who caught it at square leg. "Wanting four to prevent a followon Hill sent the ' Africans .in again.
