FACING INNINGS DEFEAT
WELLINGTON'S HOPELESS POSITION ANOTHER COLLAPSE (P.A.) WELLINGTON, March 25. Wellington's seemingly hopeless position and dull, chilly weather had an effect on the early gate, only a few hundred spectators being present this morning to watch McCool bowl the first ball. He bowled it to Rice, and the batsman had no hesitation in clouting it to the square-leg boundary to bring the total to 30. Toshack, who opened into the wind from the southern end, brought his tally of successive maidens up to seven, but off, his next over Bice turned him to fine leg for a single. In two overs Toshack had already appealed three times. However, his fourth appeal, which came from the first ball of his third over this morning, was upheld, and Rice was out leg before for 17. One wicket was down for 36 after 76 minutes' play in Wellington's second innings. Scores at 2.3 D: AUSTRALIA. First innings ....; 415 WELLINGTON. First innings ... 94 Second Innings.
