The attendance was fair. Australia sent the home side in, a bad patch at one end of the wicket favouring the fast bowlers. At lunch time Western Australia had lost two wickets for 62 nuns, tho batting being careful and uninteresting Play improved in the afternoon, Wilberiorco reaching double figures in sixteen minutes. Rang, a new country player, withstood the bowling for ninety-five minutes for 2d. Grimmett took two wickets with successive balls in a maiden over.
