Received Nov, 22, 0.25 p.m. Sydney, Nov. 22, New South Wales beat the Englishmen by six wickets. Seventeen thousand were present. When play was resumed to-day on a batsman's wicket and in hot weather, the position was that New South Wales had,made 153 is their first innings, and England 230, while the Englishmen had lost seven wickets for 220 in their second innings. On resuming Fender (35 not out) immediately attacked the bowling, hitting freely and vigorously all round the wicket, and smart fielding alone kept the scoring down. He was caught by Collins at deep cover for 54, The innings then quickly ended. New South Wales. 333 behind, opened with Collins and Macartney, the latter giving a glimpse of international form with excellent cover drives and late cuts off Douglas and Fender. After luncheon both batsmen settled down to quiet, steady play, eventually assuming an absolute majority over the bowling. Macartney liberally interspersed his singles with boundaries all round the wicket. All bowlers were seemingly alike to him, and he reached the century in 142 minutes. Collins, meanwhile, had combined in a stonewall defence, with vigorous driving in front of the wicket. Hendren, in' outfield, gained unstinted applause by repeatedly cutting off boundaries on the fence. Shortly after the tea adjournment .Collins readied the century. He then lifted a ball from Fender to Russell at square leg. and he fell to an easy catch. He notched twelve fours. The partnership yielded 244. Macartney continued to bat in an enterprising fashion, and he passed the 150 mark \hy hitting Fender three successive i fours to long on square log. and with 'a late cut a moment later terminated a noteworthy innings of a remarkable contest bv being log before. With the total at 331, Gregory pulled Woolley a long leg boundary, New South Wales thus winning by six wickets. Scores:— ENGLAND. First Innings . : 236 Second Innings. Hobbs, p. Hendry, b.
