Australians Fighting For Runs Against A Keen English Attack
258 for 7 Wickets at End of First Day's Play
Lords, London, June 24.-Australia were always fighting for runs against a keen English attack
in scoring 258 for seven, wickets at the end of the first day's play in the second Test.
The Australian hero was fair, curly-headed, left-handed Arthur Morris, whom Bedser. Yardley, Wright and Edrich had good cause to remember for the three successive Test hundreds that he made against them in the 1946-47 tour. Morris, choosing the right ball to hit and scoring all round the wicket, staved off complete disaster.
Bradman's weakness for the late in-swinger can no longer be denied. In four of his last five innings he has been dismissed by Hutton flelding in the same short leg position. He never looked really comfortable against an attack which remained hostile throughout on an easy-paced wicket.
Bedser thoroughly deserved his for four, all off his last scoring Yardley reward in getting Bradmon in the stroke, before being snapped at the third successive Test Innings. No wicket off Edrich at 240. wonder Bradman has described klm as the best English bowler of his type since Maurice Tale.
Despite the missed chances, two of which were very dificult, the Eng- lish felding was admirable, Hulton, Washbrook and Coxon being out- standing.
Tallon, the only tail-end batman to show any enterprise, and Lind- wall played out time.
