PONSFORD’S DOUBLE CENTURY

AUSTRALIA DECLARES GRIMMETT AGAIN—NINE WICKETS FOR 74 Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, May 10. (Received May 11, at 9.30 a.m.) Tho match between Australia arid Cambridge University was continued in glorious weather. Tho wicket was good and the outfield fast. Ponsford (195) ami Brown (77) proceeded to score merrily. Brown hit three successive 4’s and readied 100 in 105 minutes, but when the partnership had added 262 runs in 180 minutes Brown, hitting vigorously, was caught in the slips after a delightful innings which was grace and confidence. Ho hit six 4’s. Woodfull declared at 12.15. Ponsford’s 229 is his highest score in England. He batted 370 minutes and hit nineteen 4’s. He was always completely confident. The Cambridge batsmen were very careful, and when 8 runs bad been scored after half an hour’s play Grimmett was called on and dismissed Allen. From then on Griramett completely dominated the situation. Khan, however, attacked tho slow bowler, getting 33 in 12 minutes, including five boundaries, before being brilliantly caught at mid-off. The other batsmen merely swung at Grimmett and hoped for the best. The innings lasted 185 minutes. Grimnlett bowled unchanged for 165 minutes. Cambridge followed on with 85 minutes left to play, and made no better showing than they did in tho first innings. Grimmett did not bowl in the second innings. Darling has taken two wickets for 9 .runs. , Details:— . AUSTRALIA. First Innings.
