THIRD TEST MATH. NEW YEAR'S - EVE
BRILLIANT BATTING BY
HAMMOND.
ENGLAND 85 BEHIND WITH SIX WITH SIX
WICKETS IN HAND.
BLACKIE BOWLS FIELY
•
Brilliant batting by Hammond was the fure of the play in the Third Test Match yesterday, and the close of play, England had 812 runs, being only 85 in arrears with six wickets to fall.
The most valuable partnership was that byeen Hamond and Sutcliffe. The pair put on 188 runs for thyecond wicket, of which number Sutcliffe scored 50.
Partnerships, however, were completely erhadowed by the personal achievement of Walter Hammd, who at the end of the play had contributed 109. (not out
The big score was made in a perfect ebition of bat ting, Hammond combining superb defence with ready attack on anything loose. He gave no chance at a time, and yet managed to score more than half the Engla total.
During the day, he put on 147 runs, whi England added only 265. The figures are testimony in theselves to Ham- mond's splendid effort.
The young Gloucester, professional is w within reach of another double century. If he attains t coveted figure this morning, he will be the only player. thave made two double centuries in Test Matches, and, of orse, the fact of making them in successive innings, would beost remarkable.
