Wyatt Unfalteri The Australians bowled flelded with tremendous keenness, but Wyatt never faltered, and his young partner played with " rare coolness and judgment. As time went by the crowd became very excited. When all was over. with M.C.C. undefeated, the crowd rush" ed across the ground and gave the 'two batsmen-Wyatt in particular
-a great reception.
People often inveigh against drawn, games, but here was one that was worth going a long way La see. I have always been an ad- mirer of Wyatt's batting. and this time, he surpassed himself. Like Horatius bf old. "he kept the bridge" but all his efforts would have been of no avail without the plucky resistance of his two part- ners during that last tense four and a half.
Ponsford-McCabe Record Earlier in the duy Ponsford and McCabe had broken the record for the third-wicket partnership by putting on 389 runs. The record was previously held by Hendren and J. W Hearne, who, at South-
ampton, "in 1923. had put on 375 runs for Middlesex v. Hampshire. Ponsford's 231 not out was his second successive innings of over 200. He batted magnificently and never looked like getting out. The wicket was a good deal worn, but he was as 'safe, and as secure as on the perfect wicket of Monday.
McCabë should have been stumped in Peebles' second over and was eventually, bowled round his legs. His play did not reach the same exceptionally high level as that of his partner, but his 192 was a very fine innings.
Brown bowled very well, turning -his-leg-break quickly, and the ball which beat Oldfield was the ideal leg break, for it pitched a beau- tiful length on the leg stump, and went across like lightning to hit the top of the off stump. The analysis of the M.C.C. Bowlers
make poor reading, but Brown. Peebles, White and Marriot bowl- ed well and persistently. The want of a fast bowler, or a steady medium-paced right-hander, was however, severely felt. Variety in bowling is essential, and there was no variety.
O'Reily and Grimmett mastered the M.C.C. batsmen, until White Joined Wyatt. They were spin- ning the ball, and O'Reilly, after „az over or two, approached some- thing like his best form. He bowl- ed a good fast ball, one which sent back Hendren, and he Bighted "her" cleverly. He looked a better. bowler from the pavilion end than from the nursery end, from which Grimmett bowled very ably.
