England Meets New South Wales

Initial Success for Colt Lush AS BATSMAN AND BOWLER United Press Association—Bv Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Received Sunday, 7.30 p.m. SYDNEY, Feb. 13. The start of the match between England and New South Wales was delayed half an hour due to the turf adjacent to the wicket being in a sodden condition. New South Wales was expected to score well against England’s limited attack but the wicket soon showed a pace w'hich was not expected. Beattie, after two splendid boundary hooks off Furnes. attempted another but mistimed it and was bowled. Worthington soon relieved Copson and McCabe weak ly pushed the ball to Fames at forward leg. The third wicket fell at 26 when Fingleton was caught behind in Fames' fourth over, and at 32 Robinson ran himself out. Fames bowled with the fresh breeze and had much life. Copson, although not successful in taking wickets, made the ball rise but experienced Chipperfeld and the colt Jackson survived till lunch when the score was 40. There was a bright change for the steadily increasing crowd after lunch when Chipperfleld batted breezily, making vigorous hooks and drives off the fast bowlers. From one over by Fames Chipperfleld scored 12 but when 37 he mistimed a hook, was struck on the face and trod on his wicket. He was assisted from the field in a daxed condition. Tho colts Jackson and Lush associated in a splendid partnership after Lush, wheu 11, had been missed by Ames in the slips off Copson. Jackson, when 42, was caught in the slips off Robins. He batted 101 minutes. At the tea interval the score was 170 for six wickets with Lush 43. Lush was dismissed at 49 after 9(5 minutes’ batting. He played splendidly ufter settling down. The ta'il-enders took the total to 231, Sims taking the last four wickets. England’s period of 35 minutes’ batting proved sensational. Tho young fast bowler Lush, after a wild initial over, had Worthington sensationally caught near the boundary by the twelfth man Baines. Later Barnett was caught at second slip when he protected his head from a bumping delivery. Duckworth stayed with Leyland till stumps. Lush had taken two wickets for seven runs. NEW SOUTH WALES.

WICKET PECULIARITIES HAVE BATSMEN GUESSING. Received Sunday, 11.55 p.m. SYDNEY, Fe. 14. Macartney comments that despite the rnodcrute score compiled by New South Wales, their position a'i present was satisfactory. New South Wales’ early collapse was due to good bowling under difficult cricket conditions. Later the batsmen gave a refreshing exhibition of vigorous hitting combined with several cases of good forward footwork. The wicket improved considerably after lunch. Beattie, Fingleton oud McCabe all fell to wicket peculiarities. The ball popped and jumped viciously and had the batsmen guessing £rom the outset. Tho Chipperfleld-Jackson and Jackson-Lush partnerships retrieved a bad situution. Lush is by nature n iorceful batsman and he augurs woii for his future. Chipperfleld was attacking entertainingly when ho received a dangerous blow on the face wheu trying to negoti ate a hook stroke. The running between the wickets generally, was good, as also was England’s fielding. Fames was always dangerous. Bims and tho other bowlers employed a swing and spin in an endeavour to exploit tho wicket conditions to the best advantage. Lusk gathered the wickets of Worthington and Barnett with short balls which possessed considerable pace.
