ALL OUT FOR 60

England’s Second Innings DEADLY NEW BOWLER A Sensational Collapse HEAVY RAIN STOPS PLAY By Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright. (Received Nov. 21, 8.15 p.m.) Melbourne, Nov. 21. The weather was warm and the wicket faster to-day for the continuation of the cricket match, England V. an Australian team. Seven minutes sufficed to finish Australia’s first innings for 218 runs. England’s collapse in the second innings was sensational, the side being disposed of in 91 minutes for 60 runs. Before a ball was bowled in Australia’s second innings heavy rain fell, and after two inspections the captains decided at 4.30 p.m. that there would be no further play. More rain is threatening. The attendance was 15,000, and the gate receipts £770. In England’s second innings Nagel got a wicket in each of his first four overs. The batsmen were deceived by the pace of the wicket, also by the offbreak. No batsman was comfortable. Pataudi batted for 59 minutes. He and Larwood were out to the simplest of catches at silly leg. At about 2.30 o’clock two unsuccessful appeals were made against the light, the sky being then heavily overcast. Duckworth gave a chance off Nagel and was then dismissed next ball. Nagel, who Is 6 feet 6 inches high, bowls a fast medium ball. He is very successful, as is his twin brother, in club cricket, but both unfortunately cannot play regularly in big cricket.

AMAZING BOWLING FEAT Nagel Hitherto Almost Unknown (Received Nov. 21, 10.50 p.m.) Sydney, Nov. 21. Nagel’s amazing bowling against the Englishmen is a topic of comment. The Sydney "Sun” has a heading, “Six Feet Six Inches of Bowling Shock,’’ and says that he is an almost unknown, medium-paced, right-handed bowler, aged 28. He has a twin brother and it is almost impossible to distinguish one from the other. His father is a compositor on a Melbourne paper. FIRST TEST MATCH Australian Players (Received Nov. 22. 1.15 a.m.) Sydney, Nov. 21. The Australian players for the first Test on December 2 will be chosen from the following thirteen :— Bradman. Fingleton. Grimmett Ironmonger. Kippax. McCabe. L. Nagel. Oldfield. O’Reilly. Ponsford. V. Richardson. Wall. Woodfull. The final selection will be made later. POOR SCORING (By “Burwood.”) The extraordinary thing about the poor scoring which has been registered in the match between the Englishmen and an Australian eleven at Melbourne is the fact that the report states that the wicket was a good one. If this were the fact, it is difticult to account for the Englishmen falling for 282 in the first innings, and the Australians failing by 64 runs to reach this modest total. Then the Englishmen collapse for 60 in the second innings. But it was a wonderful performance on Nagel’s part to take eight wickets for 32 runs in tne overs. The report states that the English batsmen were deceived by the pace of the wicket, and also by the off-break. Herein lies the explanation of the Englishmen’s collapse. If Nagel can turn the ball sharply from the off on a good wicket, Australia has developed another C. T. B. Turner, or Bill Howell, who might go through any side in double-quick time. It has to be remembered that England and Australia have both been dismissed four times for under a hundred runs in Test matches, but these debacles occurred on gluepot wickets. Sixty seems to be a favourite score on the Melbourne ground, as England was dismissed for 61 there in the Test match in the 1901-2 season, and again for exactly the same score in the 1903-4 season.
