AUSTRALIA MAKES MEDIOCRE TEST START
ENGLISH BOWLERS HOLD ANOTHER NUTHALL LEAGUE TENNIS,
THEIR OWN
IN KEEN BATTLE OF WITS AT TRENT BRIDGE
STAN MACCABE TO THE RESCUE
FIRST FIVE WICKETS FALL FOR
MERE 153 RUNS
Australia gave an indifferent account of herself in the opening day's play of the first Test match at Nottingham yesterday, losing five wickets for 207 runs before bad light, almost immediately after the tea interval, caused stumps to be drawn.
The English attack, led by Kenneth Farnes, making his debut in Test cricket, Geary and Hedley Verity, performed extraordinarily well on a wicket which at the start was perfect, and which for a short time after lunch was only slightly affected by a down- pour of rain.
Farnes captured two of the must important wickets in the Australian team, those of Woodfull and Ponsford, while Geary secured those of Brown and Bradman, and Verity that of Darling. Finally it was left to Stanley McCabe and Chipperfield to pull Australia out of a very delicate position, by advancing the score from 153 to 207.
