Larwood gave an exhilarating exhibition, hitting 81 in 41 minutes. Featuring high drives and pulls he posted 50 in 27 minutes, lie was finally caught. Brown also was responsible for hurricane hitting, twice lifting Richardson out of the 'ground and bringing up 27 in seven minutes. Wyatt gave a chanceless display for 61. He hit seven fours.
