M.C.C. TEAM

THE AUSTRALIAN TOUR RECORD SCORE AGAINST QUEENSLAND BRISBANE, December 2. In the M.C.O. match Langridge and Lyttelton soon settled down to steady scoring, the latter impressing with leg and cover shots. The partnership was worth 69, and then both went quickly, but Griffiths and Sims troubled the bowlers, taking the total past the record innings against Queensland, beating Arthur Gilligan’s 522 in 1924. The failure of the Queenslanders in the second innings was attributed more to consistently good bowling than to their earlier timidity. Baxter, a good type of fast-medium bowler, did exceptionally well. Sims had a fine length, but was unlucky, bad fielding losing wickets. Levy was aggressive and most entertaining, but had three lives before his wicket fell.
