BUT BANANA BOWLERS HAVE THEIR REVENGE Received Sunday, 7.0 p.m. An attendance increasing to a big crowd during the afternoon , saw the early collapse of the Queenslanders in brilliant weather. The wicket caused trouble at first, but later was perfect. Cook, who was making his first appearance ip State a knock in partnership with Hur,wpod, who was selected for his bowling. The partnership yielded 68 wood was the highest individual State scorer against South Africa, the-pre-vious best being Jennings’ 67 over JU years ago. , Van der Merwe's wicketkeeping was a feature, his quickness winning frequent applause. Vincent bowled effectively throughout the day. The local supporters were delighted when, early in the visitors’ innings, Thurlow, the fast bowler, had Mitchell caught behind the wickets. Thurlow followed this success by clean bowling Dalton. Gilbert, the aboriginal bowler who recently caused a sensation by capturing Bradman’s wicket, was ineffective to-day.
