Geary made a quiet 33 and was caught at second slip. Hooker’s bowling was the best, his length being excellent. Bettington turned the ball well. Nothling, who did not bowl to-day was also splendid. The fielding was good. ‘ In the Australian Eleven’s second innings Richardson was streaky, anc ] gave chances-jo Geary and Mead in the slips before his dismissal, Larwood being the unlucky howler. Andrews’ 25 was a good display. Harris, though getting runs, was not impressive. At tea, the-score was two • Tickets' for-105.- -w -• Harris batted 139 minutes for SG, hitting five fours.

THE FIB ST TEST W ARNER CHOOSES ENGLISH TEAM MEAD OR TYLDESLEY NOT INCLUDED united Press Assn, by El. Tel. Copyright -Australian Press Association ) LONDON. Nov. IS. “Plum” Warner, in the Morning Post, says that at least one preeminent batsman will have to be omitted from the Brisbane test. Should White. Freeman, and Duckworth play, there would then he something of a tail, because the final batting would be Tate, Larwood and the three mentioned. Hobbs, Sutcliffe. Hammond. Hendrou, Jardine, and Chapman are certainties. Ames, instead of Duckworth, would strengthen the tail. “My imaginary eleven does not include Mtead or Tyldesley. There is a possibility that a bowler will be omitted, entrusting the attack to Tate and Larwood, and White and Hammond. In any case, Brisbane is a good place to win the toss”, he adds.
