Launceston, Mar. 2.
The Australian Test Cricket team, which-is shortly leaving for an invasion of England, beat Tasmania yesterday by 386 runs.
Two newcomers were among those who gave impressive displays with the bat, namely, A. Lindsay Hassett, of Victoria, who contributed 75 runs in the first innings, and Sidney Barnes, 20-year-o]d stylist, who made 89 in the second knock.
Barnes, whois also a useful slow bowler and capable wicketkeeper, is generally recognized as the most brilliant of the debutant brigade of Australian batsmen.
Fleetwood-Smith and Ward were the main stumbling blocks to the Tasmanian batsmen, each emerging with a splendid analysis.
Scores of the match were:
Australia 417 (Bradman 79, McCabe 83, Hassett 75) and 172 for four, declar-,|ed (Barnes 89).
Tasmania 112 (Fleetwood-Smith four -|for 22, Ward three for 26) and 151 (Fleetwood. Smith four for 56 and Ward three for 85)—Reuter.
