Australia rampant
NZPA Bridgetown, Barbados ■ ■ Craig Serjeant (108 not out)! iand David Ogilvie 150) delighted [the Australian selectors when they shared a 129-run partnership [which carried the tourists to a first innings lead over Barbados; ■ yesterday. There is just one! problem: only one of them can : .make the test team. That was the irony of Aus- . tralia’s dream dav at Kensington ■ O’ al yesterdav as they reached 348 for three in a dress rehearsal for the second fest, which starts on the same ground on Saturday (N.Z. time). I Ogilvie, not-so-fresh off the air-.
I craft from Sydney, earned a (place in the list of cricketing (iron men when he put together an impressive half century less than 24 hours after arriving in Bridgetown. The first part of the day bei longed to Graeme Wood <62> and I Rick Darling (73) who brought back memories of the record 382 run opening stand between Boh Simpson and Bill Lawrv here 13 (years ago. They wouldn’t be toe popular with Wayne Daniel, who hoped to force his way back into the West Indies test side. Instead he walked off in front of the West Indie, selectors with figures >of none for 83 off 15 overs.
