COUNTY’S BIG SCORE

Australia v. Notts. HOME TEAM IN GOOD POSITION. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, July 7. The batting continued to be miserably unentertaining, despite an easy wicket, the hundred taking 135 minutes, and the lunch adjournment found the champion county in a sound position.

The Australian attack, without Grimmett was innocuous. The rate of scoring improved after the adjournment. Whysall reached 50 after 165 minutes, but Walker made his half century in 80 minutes. The partnership added 100 in 185 minutes. Wall was expensive, so he was taken off. Hurwood secured his second wfcket when he bowled Walker, who played an attractive innings. After 225 minutes 200 appeared. Whysall then reached his third successive century. He gave a slow but sound display of four hours. Payton was out when the score was 223. Whysall then batted freely until Hurwood dislodged his middle stump. He had been in 260 minutes, and hit 16 fours—a chanceless exhibition. Hornibrook bowled Lilley when the County wanted two runs to equal Australia’s total. This was passed with five wickets intact. A. Staples was unluckily run out, and McCabe shattered Barrett's wicket. Thus three, wickets fell for two runs.

Larwood, Rhodes and S. Staples all played good, forceful cricket against a tired attack. Staples and Rhodes added 50 in 25 minutes for the ninth wicket.

The latter was dismissed in the last over of the day, and the County is 91 ahead with one wicket to fall.
