INNINGS AND 44 RUNS
AUSTRALIANS' EASY WIN PROVINCES' POOR BATTINO ONLY 104 IN SECOND (Eiec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. Dee. 3, noon.) CAPETOWN, Dee. 2. For tho continuation of the cricket match'between the Australians and Western Provinces, which the, visitors won by an innings and 44 runs, tho weather was fine and warm. The wicket had worn in patches at both ends, and the ball popped up disconcertingly. Fingleton's 53 occupied 107 minutes. McCabc batted brightly, while O'Brien and Darling were never comfortable facing Robertson, a slow right-hand ofl'-'break bowler.
Almost every batsman who attempted a liberty with Robertson's apparently simple deliveries paid the penalty. Robertson is almost certain now to be chosen for the first test.
• Western Provinces -opened their second innings disastrously, and the side never recovered. Bond played perfect cricket. The Australian fielding was brilliant, and Barnett's wicket keeping was faultless.
Fleetwood-Smith again had all the Africans guessing, and finished with fine figures. Details:— AUSTRALIA First Innings. Brown, stp.
