MAILEY 7 FOR 110.

NOTTINGHAM FARE POORLY. BARDSLEY AND MACARTNEY AGAIN BAT BRIGHTLY. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Reuter’S Telegrams. LONDON, July 3. In their first innings against Aus--tralia Nottingham made 193. At stumps Australia had two wickets down for 202. The attendance was 15,000. Collins, Ryder, Hendry, Everett and Ellis were not included in the Australian team. The weather was bright. The rain over-night made the outfield softish, but the wicket, which had been covered, was good. Carr won the toss and batted. Walker and Whysall opened. Walker was run out in a ridiculous fashion, running the full length of the wicket for a sharp single, notwithstanding Whysall’s “no.” Macartney at mid-off made a sharp return to Oldfield who sent to Gregory for the latter to break the wicket with both batsmen at the opposite end. Lilley left early through giving a catch close in. Carr after a quiet over from Gregory drove the fast bowler to the off boundary and then lifted Macartney into the pavilion for six. Mailey replaced Macartney and was also hit into the pavilion for six. Then Carr attempted to hit Mailey for six, but was well held by Taylor at long-on. Payton went out through a poor shot, hooking, the ball into the hands of mid-on.

Whysall, by patient batting got thirteen in half an hour and then missed a full toss from Mailey which rebounded from Oldfield’s pads. Richardson bowled with unimpeachable length a series of maidens, but Mailey was jmore dangerous and the batsmen were able to do little with him. Staples was well taken in the next over at fine slip off a wide. Larwood opened with a glance to the leg boundary off Richardson, following this up with a couple of powerful straight drives. He continued soundly to drive Maile> r and then was easily caught at deep mid-off. Flint was sound and good on the off side. Gregory, who was still feeling the strain, shortened his run and appeared also to have hurt his arm. Mailev’s average started at one for 1. two for 3, three for 7, four for 13 and five for 13 and then he took the expensive eighth wicket at lunch. The scoring livened after lunch, Flint and Barratt batting freely before the latter was caught by Woodfull at mid-on. Richmond followed the example of his colleagues and vigorously attacked the bowling. Flint monopolised Mailey’s bowling taking further runs from an over-pitched ball. The first ball Richmond received from Mailey took his wicket. Flint scored by splendid cutting and off driving with occasional leg hits. The fielding was good, Andrews, Woodfull and Ponsford being prominent. Notts were dismissed by tea. The last three wickets had produced 134 runs in one and a half hours. Light rain fell during the last jwicket stand. Richardson, at length restored to his regular position accompanied Bardsley to the wicket and opened against the bowling of Larwood and Barratt. Richardson opened confidently, but unwisely attempted to drive and had his leg stump uprooted. Macartney started early with successive singles and then turned Larwood beautifully to the square boundary. Fifty came up in forty minutes. Macartney was keeping the field busy, scoring as many runs in twenty-five minutes as Bardsley scored in fifty minutes. Macartney at 39 gave Flint a hot chance at square leg, then another at 4<S to Whysall at first slip. Afterwards he slowed down finally pulling Richmond on to the wicket. Bardsley continued to bat in his best style and with Andrews, who scored a succession of spectacular leg glances, played out time. The scores are : NOTTINGHAM. First Innings. W.

Collins has been ordered into a nursing home. .It will be known on

Wednesday whether he will play at Leeds. Ryder is expected to recover by Wednesday. Ilendrv is at Margate for a fortnight. England's Test Team. LONDON, July 3. Colonel Trevor in the “Daily Telegraph” writes: —“Obviously we have to omit one out of Tate, Ivilner, Larwood, Root, Macaulay and Parker. Presumably it will not be Parker, or he would not have been invited to go to Leeds. None of the batsmen at a glance can be dropped so the choice must be from ROot, Macaulay and LarwOod. “Frankly the Root experiment at Lords was n6t a success. If he is excluded there is still ariothef who must be ofnitted. We cannot have less than four regular bowlers, so it looks as if we must sacrifice a batsman. It •nay be Chapman, despite his good innings. Though Parker is 42 he has the habit of getting 200 wickets a season.”
