He carried his Saturday's score to 124 When realising that the first innings was shortly closing he took undue risks, clouting every ball hard, and finally being caught in the simplest manner. He and Rigg distinguished themselves.

Ryder sent Woodfull's men tn again. The opening pair were Brad man and Woodfull. Again Bradman was seen in a great mood, persistently driving hard and gracefully turning the ball to the leg boundary, never once looking like getting out He wag nothing short of brilliant, and received a flattering ovation.

Oxenham bowled singularly well. Ho was really the only man who troubled Bradman Whitfield bowled a nice length and impressed. Grimmett was always dangerous, but Alex ander as a bowler was not troublesome.
