Nottingham, June 11. By pursuing a bold policy, Freddie Brown, the England captain, has made possible a victory in the First Test with South Africa when, after the two days' snail·like "butting of the visitors, nothing but a draw seemed likely.
England brightened up the game on Saturday and on a difficult pltch after week-end rain this morning they continued to score well and then Brown declared and paved the way for his bowlers to get rid of five South African batsmen he- fore stumps were drawn for only 95 runs.
Thus, South Africa, with their captain, R. D. Nourse, who scored a double century in the first Innings, unable to bat, are only 159 runs ahead with an Eng- land innings ahead.

COMPTON'S · CENTURY Compton soon reached his century after lunch and thereby maintained his record of 100 in every Test appearance on the ground.
Watson had started after the interval with boundary off Chubb and Compton also sent him to the boundary when the new ball was taken at 340 runs. Then Watson completed his half century after batting for two
hours and three-quarters.
A single to leg had taken Compton to 08 and then he amashed an on-drive from Mc- Carthy to the boundary to reach 102 runs.
This was his sixth century of the season, the 95th of his career and his sixth in Tests against South Africa which equalled the fent of Sutcliffe and Hammond.

The Emphasis Must Be On Attacking Strokes
Batsmanship is an art of infinite variety. As such, it is impossible
to reduce it to a matter-of-fact, rule-of-thumb science,
Here I propose to give some hints on the general technique of batting, how to adapt yourself to varying conditions, how to plan your innings, and the need for. making a study of the bowling.
The emphasis must be on attacking strokes. A cricket ball is meant to be hit, hard and often, yet a sound and flawless defence must be the foundation of batsmanship.
