BOWLING COLLARED KIPPAX AND BRADMAN UNBEATEN ANOTHER DRAWN GAME (United Press Assn.—By Telegraph—Copyright.) (Rec. 11.15 p.m.) Sydney, November 13. The cricket match between England and 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, Freeman 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 return 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 artistic. They were together till the tea adjournment when the score read three for 253.

Kippax ran into the century in 154 minutes. Jardine’s slow balls were particularly weak. Runs came freely. Bradman compiled 100 in 128 minutes giving a great

display with many glorious shots. He received long sustained applause. He was only the third New South Wales man to score a century at a first appearance against the Englishmen.

A dust storm at this stage caused a bad light and towards the close of the game many non-bowlers were tried. Stumps were drawn at 5.35 and rhe game was drawn.

Kippax batted 207 minutes and Bradman 150 minutes. Each hit 14 fours. Both played chanceless innings, the partnership being responsible for 249 for the fourth wicket which is a record for New South Wales against England, beating the Mac-artney-Andrews combination of 138 about eight years ago. The batting was always superior except, for a short period after the game resumed when Morgan and Andrews were dismissed. The attendance was 7,100. Following are the scores: ENGLAND. First Innings seven for 734 (declared). NEW SOUTH WALES. First Innings 349 —Second Innings.— Morgan c Ames b Larwood 18 Jackson run out 40 Andrews b Tate 19 Kippax not out 136 Bradman not out 132 Extras 19 Total for three wickets 364 Bowling analysis: Tate took one wicket for 36 runs, Larwood one for 33, Freeman none for 81, Leyland none for 61, Hammond none for 73, Jardine none for 22, Hendren none for 21 Sutcliffe none for 18.

COMMENT BY MR P. F. WARNER. (Rec. 5.5 p.m.) London, November 12. Mr P. F. Warner, writing in the Morning Post, says: “Probably Bradman’s 87 gave the most satisfaction to New South Wales. Following on a double century against Queensland he must be a strong candidate for a place in the tests. My earlier tip, that Kelleway will obtain a place, looks like coming off. On recent form the two best bowlers in Australia seem to be Biackie and Ironmonger.”--Australian Press Association. SHEFFIELD SHIELD MATCH. VICTORIA BEATS SOUTH AUSTRALIA. (Rec. 11.45 p.m.) Melbourne, November 13. In the Sheffield Shield cricket match South Australia in the second innings made 295 (Pellew 76, Whitfield 32, Scott 86 not out).

Pellew batted in first-class style.— Australian Press Association. In the first innings South Australia made 176 and Victoria 317. Victoria in the second innings 464 for four wickets (declared).
