It was an incredible show. Even more incredible when it is remen- bered that England won the toss and put their opponents in to bat on a supposedly sticky wicket.
Actually the wicket never got really difficult. It was slow at the beginning of the day-much too spin bowlers-and s.ow for our plumb at the end.
Robins could turn the ball con- siderably at times, but there was no, nip in the pitch and the ball could be watched right on to the bat.

GOVER'S OMISSION England's opening bowlers" were rather ineffective and the omission ot Gover, was a serious mistake. Allen was not going all out in his first speil and Wyatt seldom found anything but the middle of the bat.
We expected things to happen when Verity and Langridge, the left-handers, came on. But" they didn't. At least, not in the way We had hoped.

Greig at times laid good founda- tions for his partner, who, in cidentally has many times played better bowls than he did yester- day. In comparison Duncan and Randle were as steady as a rock throughout the game Randle in for responsible particular WES some very fine woods.
