OVERSEAS CRICKET

England v. N.S.W. BRADMAN SCORES ONE BROWN AND ROWE It) THE / RESCUE By Telegraph—Copyright—Press Assn. SYDNEY, January 26. England's return match against New South Wales was commenced in a hot summer's day. The wicket favoured the batsmen. England's team is:—Wyatt (captain), the Nawab of Pataudi, Ames, Leyland, Brown, Hammond, Mitchell, Verity, Tate, Bowes and Duckworth with Larwood as twelfth man. Fingleton and the nineteen-year-old Brown gave the side a good start, adding 58 before the former was bowled around his legs. He was uncertain throughout, being dropped when five off Tate. Brown was also dropped at five off Bowes. Bradman replaced Fingleton, and swung wildly at the few balls he received until bowled by a good length delivery. Kippa was caught at silly-leg off a bumper from Bowes, and the backbone of the New South Wales side was back in the pavilion at lunch with only 67 on the board. Mitchell had two for 10 at lunch and improved this to three for 12 when in his first over after the adjournment he completely beat Cummins. The position was desperate when the left-hander, Rowe, aged 16, partnered Brown. Rowe, playing his first representative game, raced to 40 in even time. The 50 partnership, of which Rowe contributed 37, took only 36 minutes. Rowe glanced and cut with precision, and did not hesitate to lift the ball into the unguarded outfield. He reached 50 in 50 minutes. He was particularly severe on Tate. Brown, meanwhile, was batting very confidently. His 50 occupied 125 minutes. The total was four for 160 at 3.20 o'clock, when a thunderstorm stopped play. Play was resumed at 4.42 o'clock, tea being taken at 4 o’clock. The players took the field at 4.15, but before the ball was bowled rain drove them off for an hour. When play was resumed there was bad light. Brown was caught in the slips without adding to his score. He had given a solid display with Rowe and retrieved the position for New South Wales. Love immediately appealed successfully against the light and later it was announced that stumps would be drawn.

The attendance was 23,238 and the takings £1651.
