O’Neill’s Century For N.S.W. (NZ. Press Association—Copyright MELBOURNE, December 29. The 20 years old New South Wales batsman, Norm. O’Neill, brought a breath of Bradman back to the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday, when he hammered Victoria's bowlers to score a dashing 175. New South Wales, left with a full day’s play, are in a position to win the match. Victoria have still to make 360 to win. O’Neill, who hit with great power and recalled Walter Hammond with his masterful driving off the back foot, is becoming cricket’s leading drawcard here. In his innings of 208 minutes, O’Neill scored 23 boundaries. Scores were:—
Victoria, first innings 106. Second innings four for no wickets. New South Wales, first innings 330 for six wickets declared (O’Neill 175. B. Booth 73; Quick two for 74).
