BEG CRICKET SCORE.

ENGLISHMEN IN SYDNEY

339 FOR FOUR WICKETS.

SUTCLIFFE UNBEATEN FOR 157. United Press Assn.—Klee. Tel. Copyright SYDNEY, Nov. 27 The cricket match England versus New Soutii Wales was continued at Sydney yesterday. There were 36,7iS spectators and the receipts totalled £2390. When stumps were drawn on Friday New South Wales had made 273 runs in their first innings and England six lor no wickets, Sutcliffe (3) and Wyatt (2) being not out. The visitors yesterday carried their total to 339 for four wickets (Sutcliffe 157 not out), and thus attained a commanding position. It was announced in the morning that Oldfield was in bed suffering from influenza and as no other member of tlie selected New South Wales team was capable of keeping wickets the English captain, Jardine, readily agreed to Love being substituted for Oldfield. Jardine’s gracious act, which is unprecedented, was appreciated by the New South Wales team and the public. When Sutcliffe and Wyatt resumed batting they gave England a great start, adding 140 before O’Reilly secured Wyatt's wicket. Frequent previous appeals for leg before by O'Reilly, who alone of the New South Wales bowlers troubled the batsmen, had been negatived. Sutcliffe was enterprising, scoring fours by strokes to all parts of the ground. Wyatt, on the other hand, was very dreary, scoring only two singles in half an hour, lie brightened up later, playing nice forceful cricket. After taking 63 minutes to compile 20 Hammond was out to a splendid running catch by Bradman off O’Reilly, who then had two for 26 off 19 overs, including eight maidens. Hie maintained a perfect length Sutcliffe went along steadily, refusing to take any risks. Between the luncheon and tea adjournments he added only 47. Eventually lie reached his century in 213 minutes. He had hit 14 fours. The New South Wales total was passed with eight wickets in hand. Sutcliffe and Pataudi in their thirdwicket partnership made 100 in 73 minutes, of which Pataudi contributed 41 by neat glances and cuts. Pataudi went on to pass his halfcentury and Sutcliffe his 130. 'file fielding of the local side was good, Bradman’s work being outstanding. Uctails of the scores are:— NEW SOUTH WALES.

TEST CRtCKET.

WHO WILL WIN THE ASHES ? THE ENGLISH VIEWPOINT. United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright (Recevicd Nov. 28, 10.55 ani ) LONDON, Nov. 26. Who will win the ashes? The English viewpoint Is expressed by Mr Neville Cardus in an article in the Observer which says: “Seldom has the issue been more open. English form is most tantalising. Jardino must beware of the enemy’s traditional genius of seeing all the. moves of the game. In a solitary rapid act of unsentimental vision he must be careful not to be out-bluffed and outgeneralled. We have achieved a rare physchological gain in disturbing Bradman’s usual vast self-esteem and confidence. He was in danger of becoming an obession to the bowlers. Larwood discovered his fallibility. This, at a moderate estimate, is worth 200 or 300 runs to Jardine.”
