The scoring was very slow at the commencement, the batsmen being afraid to take risks, Mailey, who was in great form, spinning the ball well. The partnesrhip of Mayne and Ponsford was very dreary at the start, neither batsman taking chances. After luncheon Ponsford livened up and batted superbly, driving and cutting delightfully, and using his feet well. He scored 90 while Mavne was hitting up 50. He batted 167 minutes and hit eleven 4’s. Macartney bowled in his best form, keeping the batsmen quiet, but the fielding again was bad, cate*es from Mayne being dropped three times and once from Ponsford. —Press Assn.
