The Third Test

SPRINGBOKS AT THE WICKETS. ; FIVE WICKETS FOR 271. Received 8, 5.5 p.m. Adelaide, January 7. The third test match began in cool weather. The teams were the same as at Melbourne, "excepting that Ilathorn replaced J'earce. The attendance wao 11,000.

Sherwell won tile toss, and Zulch and Sherwell opened the innings on a perfect wicket to Cotter's and Whitty's bowling. Scoring was slow. When 18 liad been scored Zulch was badly missed at short leg by Macartney off Whitty. When the total stood at 31, after 35 minutes play, Armstrong relieved Cotter, and with his second ball got Sherwell leg before wicket. Faulkner was next man, and was warmly cheered as lie walked to the wickets. Zulch at 18 gave Macartney a sharp left-handed catch at short leg off Whitty. Faulkner cracked two fours off Whitty, who, at 41, handed the ball to Kelleway, and eight came off his first over. The batsmen completed the first fifty in 47 minutes. Scoring proceeded steadily. Zulch reached 50 in eighty minutes. At the luncheon adjournment the total was 96, Zulch 50, Faulkner 30. Cotter and Whitty resumed the bowling. The century occupied 88 minutes. Cotter's bowling was erratic, and runs came freely from it. Armstrong relieved him at 129, and Macartney replaced Whitty. The batting was extremely sound, neither batsman taking the slightest risk. When he had scored 08 Zulch drove a ball hard and low back to Armstrong, who was unable to hold it. At 84 Macartney, at mid-off, should have held the same batsman off Armstrong. Faulkner's 50 occupied 95 minutes. With the board showing lGfl, Faulkner lifted' Armstrong to long-oft', and Hill, running along the boundary, made a brilliant catch. Faulkner had batted stylishly and faultlessly for 105 minutes, and hit seven tourers. Xourse began tediously. At 178 a double .change was made, Kelleway and Cotter being tried. A cut for three off Kelleway gave Zulch his century in 175 minutes. In the last over before tea, Nourse played on. The total was then 189. Zulch 103.

After tea, Cotter and Whitty were the bowlers. The third ball of the latter's first over Zulch skied to mid-ofT, and he was easily caught. He batted watchfully and patiently for 185 minutes, and hit nine tourers. Four for 101. Llewellyn joined Hatliorn, the latter being aggressive. The second century came up for 107 minutes play. Hatliorn drove Whitty for four, and in the same over was bowled by a yorker. Five for 205. Suooke was content' to slay while Llewellyn jogged along slowly. CoHer proved harmless, so at 21fi, he handed the ball to Armstrong. Kelleway for Whitty was the next change. The two batsmen were shaping well, and runs came more merrily than at any previous time. Each had a big eraek at Armstrong, and each time the ball fell just out of roach of Hill on the boundary. Cotter bowled again at ten to six, and the batsmen carefully played out time. The batting throughout lacked life. Every Tialsman was over cautious, though on such a beautiful wicket more risks might have been taken. Apart from Macartney's chances, none of which was really easy, the fielding was brilliant all day. The scores were: SOUTH AFRICA.—First Innings.
