Woolley's Triumph Woolley has enjoyed a triumph. After making top store for England (when it was thought that his Test career was over), he was called upon to bowl, although he has been doing less and less bowling for Kent, his; county. And there were other left- hand bowlers in the team as well.
Having gained the upper hand yesterday, England ought to win to- day, even if (as is hoped) South Africa's "tail" does the proverbial wagging.
The weather was ideal, says Reuter, and the wicket still good. The attendance numbered 8,000. From 106 for 2 wickets (Hammond 30 not out and Duckworth 5 not out), England resumed. And the batsmen scored quickly. By lunch,
