CRICKET RECORDS BROKEN.

England’s Big Scoring. FORTY-THREE THOUSAND SPECTATORS. (United Free* Aesocletion —By Eientrle Tolegraph—Copy right.) (Received November 11, 5.5 p.m.) SYDNEY, November 11. The weather was cool and the wicket excellent when the match between England and New South Wales was resumed. Hammond and Hendren were again brilliant, the former showing great wristiness in his off drives and shots past point. He batted nearly I>J hours, and hit thirty fours and one six. When 111 Hammond lunged at one from Hooker, snicking it wide of Nicholls at first slip. Otherwise his innings was faultless. To-day, Hendren was forceful on the off side. The pair added 333—a record fourth wicket partnership in Australia. They were together 3 hours 49 minutes. Hendren's innings ended sensationally. He lifted two successive balls from Bradman over the fence, and attempted another next delivery, when he was well caught in the outfield. He threw his wicket away, being apparently tired. Four wickets were now down for 59b. Leyland played a ball to mid-off, and Hammond was unable to complete the run, Bradman returning the ball smartly to Oldfield. Hammond’s score of 225 is a record for an Englishman against New South Wales, beating Hayward’s 174 in the 1901 tour. Leyland impressed hy his sound, vigorous off-driving, scoring 47. Ames batted neatly and wa6 beaten by a ball from Morgan, who had not previously bowled during the day. Chapman showed good tactics by closing “he innings as the home team was tired, and the light was failing. The bowling was w'ithout sting on m fast wicket. Kelleway was the best. Gregory’s injured finger caused him to be inaccurate. -

The day ended sensationally, Tate, who was bowling excellently, taking two wickets for 25. The attendance was 43,000, and the receipts £4213 both records for a New South Wales— England game.

ENGLISH CRITICS PLEASED. IMPRESSED BY JARDINE’S FORM. (United Press Association —By Eloctil* TeUh'rapli—Oopyricht.) (Received November 11, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, November 11. Jardine’s success finds the critics overjoyed. They are pointing out he is the only Englishman with such a performance in his first appearance in Australia. Mr P. F. Warner expresses the opinion that Jardine should return from Australia the almost perfect batsman. He thinks Kelleway will reappear in the tests. Warner said: “To-day all roads should lead to the Sydney Cricket Ground, probably the most perfect in the world.”
