BATSMEN IN FORM
Australia 357 For 7 (N.Z.P. A.-Reuter—Copprtpht) NOTTINGHAM. The Australians gained some valuable batting practice on Saturday when they scored 357 for seven against Nottinghamshire, which was without the West Indies captain, G. S. Sobers. Sobers injured a leg in Nottinghamshire’s last match and his doctor advised him to rest. The touring team took full advantage of his absence and I. R. Redpath, R. M. Cowper, and K. D. waiters all made useful scores against the tiring Nottinghamshire bowlers, who gained some consolation with wicket* late In th* day. Scoreboard:— AUSTRALIA First Innings I.
