Australians falter
NZPA Chelsford Rodney Marsh and Doug Walters rescued the Australians from potential disaster yesterday after the Essex opening bowler, Keith Boyce had broken the back of the tourists’ batting. When bad light ended play 15 minutes early, the Australians were 147 for five, with Marsh 46 not out, and Walters 28 not out. after an unbroken sixthwicket partnership of 76. Tin Australian selectors gave an indication of their possible thinking for the first test byputting in the reerve wicketkeeper, Richie Robinson, to open with Rick McCosker. But the gamble failed when Robinson was clean-bowled for nought by Boyce; trying for the on drive. Scores.—Australia 147 for five (R. McCosker 25, D. Hookes 20; Boyce 3/61, S. Turner 2/a9) versus Essex.
