N.S.W.’S HARD FIGHT

DEFICIT OF 237 RUNS

THREE WICKETS DOWN FOR 68 ENGLISHMEN COMPILE 530 (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) SYDNEY, Nov. 28. Pacing a deficit of 257 runs on the first iuning-s, the New South Wales cricketers are lighting hard to avert an innings defeat at the hands of the M. 0.0. The position is all the more desperate, because Bradman is not expected to take any further part in the match. He is in' lied to-day suffering from a chill and a -sore throat. It is anticipated, however, that lie will recover in time for the test match. The game was continued in hot weather. It was apparent that the Englishmen were intent oil getting in as much batting practice as possible. /Sutcliffe and Ames added 45 by very correct but uninspiring cricket before 1 lird bowled the former with a big leg break. Love held a wonderful catch to dismiss .lardine off a similar ball. Sutcliffe had batted for 352 minutes and hit 22 fours. lie was always confident and presented a stubborn defence. He .cllose loose balls to score from.

Amies was also extremely slow, taking half an hour 1o score three runs. Later he 'placed a ball nicely between tho fieldsmen. lie gave two difficult: chances. Voce showed. that he is a batsman of some merit, defying seven New South Wales bowlers, and, with Ames, established a record of 100 runs for the eighth wicket.

England hatted for 496 minutes. Bird and O’Reilly were the only bowlers who deserved wickets. New South Wales started their second innings badly, Bill’s wicket being spreadeagled with only seven rums on the board. McCabe made a nice 29 before ihe fell to Voce’s leg trap, and when Fiugleton was bowled, three wickets were down for 60. Details:— NEW SOUTH WALES First Innings . . . . • • 273 Second Innings.
