FIFTH TEST
To AUSTRALIA
High Scoring in Cricket Match
Between M. C. C. and
South Australia.

Through the courtesy of Mr.. Robert
Anderson, the latest news of the Eng
lish cricketers in Australia is here
given.
In the fifth and last test match,
played at Sydney, Australia batted
first and made 1877 runs in the first
inning. England We're all out for 2S1
runs. Barnes took wickets for 60
runs.
The latest news of the match is that
in the second inning Australia had
scored Is runs for no wickets.
Several of the English players DELHI
erately threw away their wickets in
the second inning. This was, presuma-
bly,, to force Australia to bat in their
second inning on a wet and difficult
wicket This course, in view of their
lead of IA runs on the first inning,
would probably give England good
chance of winning, especially as they
are stronger in batting than bowling.
