Both scored at a. good rate from Larwood, but Voce succeeded in getting Ponsford when the total was 43. McCabe raised 50 after 35 minutes. The steady rate of scoring was continued, and 100 took 72 minutes. Both men then attacked the bowling, and hit very hard, punishing Voce severely. McCabe was eventually caught at midon, after a slashing display, having hit 14 fours in an innings occupying 75 minutes. Jackson’s fifty took 105 minutes. The total was then two for 165, with Kippax in. Two hundred were raised in 130 minutes. Jackson then gave an easy catch in the slips, after showing that he at last is finding form.
