England won the fourth cricket Test match and the coveted "Ashes" by six wickets on the sixth day of the. game at Brisbane. With eight wickets to fall and 53 runs to get to win,, Jardine's team had no great difficulty in achieving their purpose. Light showers had refreshed the wicket and it was evident when the overnight batsmen, Leyland and Hammond, resumed to Ironmonger and O'Reilly, that England was prepared to take greater risks with the weather than with the Australian bowling, the first twenty minutes yielding . only 6 runs. England plainly was keen 'on winning with the greatest possible margin. Hammond was out after half an hour's play, he being induced to open his shoulders to one from Ironmonger, which curled off his bat to point, where Bromley toak an easy catch. England then required only 42 'to ivin with seven wickets in hand. Hammond scored only 14, made in 71 minutes. . _ Leyland was the next to fall, caught in the slips off O'Reilly, and only 22 runs were required. Leyland's 86 occupied 220 minutes, and was a valuabW knock. _ With Ames and Paynter associated, light rain commenced to fall, and the batsmen, opened out, Ames getting a beautiful 6 by driving O'Eeilly to the off. Then. Paynter lifted McCabe, who waa the first bowling change, over the fence at fine leg, and England had won. by six wickets amd 3. runs.
