MATCH IN SYDNEY. STATE TEAIV) OUT FOR 273. TATE’S EFFECTIVE BOWLING. United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright. SYDNEY, Nov. 25. The English cricketers to-day began a match against New South Wales at Sydney in fine, but cloudy weather. There were 26,384 spectators and the receipts totalled £IB4S. The teams were: — New South Wales: A. F. Kippax (captain), Wendel Bill,'D. G. Bradman, F. Cummins, J. H. W. Fingleton, S. Ilird, W. Howell, S. J. McCabe, W. A. Oldfield, W. J. O’Reilly and H. Theak, with W. Brown as twelfth man. England: D. R. Jardine (captain), R. E. S. Wyatt, G. 0. Allen, F.' R. Brown, Nawa'b of Pataudi, iH. Sutcliffe, W. R. Hammond, M. W. Tate f , L. E. G. Ames, W. Voce and H. Verity, with H. Larwood as twelfth man. A Batsman’s Wicket. Jardine lost the toss for the first time on the 'tour and Fingleton and Bill opened New South Wales’ first innings on a batsman’s wicket. Allen and Voce had charge of the attack. At the outset Allen could not strike his length and Bill scored three fours off him in three overs. Voce bowled with a closely-packed leg field and Fingleton was uncomfortable when he was facing him. Made the Ball Fly.

Voce incensed the crowd by making the ball fly around the batsmen’s heads. Fingleton received nasty blows over the heart and on one arm.

Tate bowled well and had Fingleton and Bill missing 'badly. Eventually Bill was caught by Jardine in the slips. Bradman was never at his ease, being troubled by Voce’s “fliers” and Tate’s perfect length. He was out leg before to Tate for 18.

With Fingleton and McCabe associated runs came at a good rate and 1511 appeared on the board for 136 minutes’ play. McCabe scored four successive fours off Verity, the partnership yielding 100 in 57 minutes. Fingleton, who earlier had been subdued, now showed greater confidence. Tate was brought on again and dismissed McCabe, Allen taking a a fine catcli at short leg. McCabe had given a bright display for his 67. He had batted 82 minutes and hit li fours.

Fingleton reached his century after 201 minutes. Then he was dropped in the slips by Hammond off Voce. Spectators on the hill again demonstrated against Voce when lie struck Hird and Cummins on the body with fast bumping deliveries. Carried His Bat. The “tail” offered little resistance, but Fingleton carried his bat for 119. His batting was stolid rather than brilliant. Tate was easily the most effective bow|sr. The fielding of the Englishmen was not up to international standard. The New South Wales Innings closed for 273 and when stumps were drawn England had made six for no wickets. Details of the scores are:—
