After 148 minutes at the wickets Woodfull reached his century. When he had scored 96, Brown was caught. He hit seven fours. At stumps the tourists had four wickets down for -115. Tasmania's outstanding batsman, Badcock, has received an attractive offer to play for the Adelaide Club next season and has decided to acccpt the transfer to South Australia. Some leading cricket writers ore agitating for his inclusion in the Test team. They contend that his batting feats hitherto have justified his inclusion. He has, they say, been completely overlooked.
