English weather played a prominent part in the Old Country's SUCCESS. Rain showers promised assistance to the bowlers, und then a powerful sun'and a drying wind, rendered the pitch a bowler's paradise. Australia were always in difficulties, crack batsmen went out to amazingly poor strokes, and the top scorer was Oldfield who 'made 23 runs, when the gamo was lost.
England made 436 In their second innings, Tate making 39 rot out. The bowling honours on the England side were chiefly with Rhodes and Larwood...
England have this year won the mythical "Ashes" for the first time since 1912.
