LIVELY BATTING AT ADELAIDE

M.C.C. TEAM IN AUSTRALIA United press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received November 8, 11.30 p.m.) ADELAIDE, November 8. The weather was favourable and the wicket perfect for the opening of the cricket match between the M.C.C. team and South Australia. , The captain, E. R. T. Holmes, did not play because of a hand injury. The new leg-before-wicket rule operated for the first time. Lyttelton won the toss and Smith and Parks opened the innings. They gave a sparkling display, tackling the bowling which was not particularly hostile, from all angles. Twelve runs were scored in the first over by Parks and eighteen in the first 20 minutes. Hardstaff and Human were associated in a brilliant partnership. Human made 78 in 45 minutes. He hit nine fours. The first 200 was brought up in 212 minutes and the next century in 73 minutes. Following are the scores:— M.C.C. First Innings. Parks, c Walker, b Waite 77 Smith, c Moyle, b Ward 52 Hardstaff, c Waite, b Ward .. .. 90 Mitchell-Innes, c and b Waite .. 0 Human, c Bradman, b Ward .... 87 Langridge, not out H Sims, not out 1 Extras ® Total for five wickets .. .. 314 Bowling: Thompson took no wickets for 70 runs; none for 45; Ward, three for 97; Collins, none for 36; Waite, two for 33; Ryan, none for 27.
