[at Queen’s Park on Saturday; [ with an innings which wifi ■ usher him straight into the [fourth test side. Returning from a month ; of frustrating inactior while i his broken thumb mended, Toohey compiled a wonderful 66 on a wicket where to reach double figures was a real achievement. The effort lifted the Aus-
| tralian second inpings to ■ 209, leaving the Islands a '243-run target for an improbable victory. More itn-i jportantly it was an ideal! warm-up for Toohey seven' days before the crucial test, ] Scores: Australia 121/9dec. and 209 (P. Toohey 66, R. Darling 36, C. Sergeant 32, D. Ogilvie 27; A.
