SOUTH AFRICA y, N.S. SWALES* Press Association —By Tel. —Copyright., Received 6.40 p.m., Nov. 18th.SYDNEY, Nov. 18. Magnificent weather favoured the South Africans' first match here, and the attendance was 6000, which is good for an off day. Sherwell won the toss and elected to bat. The wicket was hard and fast. Zulcli and Strieker opened to the bowling of Cotter and Kelleway. Both played carefully. Strieker was uncomfortable against Cotter's fast deliveries. Zulch played more freely, but showing a tendency to play back. "When 14, however, he went forward to Kelieway and snicked to Folkard at long slip, who held. Two overs later Snooke, who had scored 6, played an exactly similar stroke, and Emery tocfe the catch. Nourse joined Strieker, and Hordern relieved Cotter. Nourse punished the slow bowler, and after two overs Macartney took the ball, and Folkard the other end. Runs then came slowly, with an occasional brilliant stroke by Nourse, who was cutting splendidly. Strieker was less interesting. He however punished anything loose, and the score had reached 50 after an hour's play. At 54 Emery changed with Macartney, and in his second over Nourse tipped the ball and was cleverly caught by Kelleway at close slip. Faulkner followed, and showed a dash of brilliance immediately, glancing Emery to the fence. Strieker, after batting two hours 20 minutes, was clean bowled by Kelleway for 73. He hit ten fours. Llewellyn followed, and batted with freedom, but Folkard clean bowled him at 13. Scliwarz came next, and Folkard clean" bowled him first ball. Faulkner severely punished anything short or on the leg. His best stroke is a pretty leg glance. Yogler, after scoring 12, tried to play back to a fast one from Cotter and was howled. (7 for 203.)
