LEYLAND’S DAY.

DELIGHTFUL PLAY AGAINST SOUTH AUSTRALIA. M.C.C. LOSE EIGHT WICKETS FOR 371. NEAT FOOTWORK BY PAYNTER. (Received Monday, 7.45 p.m.) ADELAIDE, March 13. The weather was ideal and the wicket fast for the resumption of the match between England and South Australia. Duckworth was run out in the first over and Wyatt fell into Richardson’s leg trap. Paynter’s footwork with neat leg glances were a feature of the morning’s play. He was ultimately caught in deep field by Lonergan, his stylish 47, including four 4’s being made in 70 minutes. Jardine joined Leyland and the pair played a correct game, dourness alternating with periods of dash but they showed little appreciation of Williams’s bumpers, both batsmen constantly ducking. Leyland’s off-drives were perfect. Jardine gave a chanceless display, waiting for the right balls. The pair brought u,p two hundred iu 195 minutes. At the tea adjournment the score was three wickets for 308. - Jardine was caught by Walker off Tobin’s first over after tea. He had played a sound innings for 65, occupying 138 minutes. He hit six 4’s and partnered with Leyland, added 142. Leyland and Ames gave a delightful exhibition of hard hitting. Ames had reached 23 when he was smartly caught at square leg by Ryan. Tate hit one boundary, then Williams got him with a straight yorker. Leyland brought up his century with a pretty leg glance. He had hit eleven 4’s, his scoring being unabated after being let off a catch by Grimmett at cover when 103. He then continued -brilliantly until 152 including eighteen 4’s. Voce also sparkled, 18 of his 33 being off one over from Lee. Scores:—
