rans.
"
Australia were all out for 125 runs in their 2nd innings.. -Reuter.
As predleted in yesterday's "China Mul." the wicket was all against the Australians—a collapse ensuing.
Of the conditions, Reuter says:- The bright sun and a drying wind were handmaidens to the English bowlers, though the Aus tralians made unprecedentedly bad strokes.
This is the first defeat of the present term of Australian tourists.
FRENZIED CHEERING
At the Oval, there were amazing scenes, at the conclusion.
The pent up excitement was increased by falling wickets which were punctuated with cheers from both thousands Inside and hundreds outside the ground.
When the end came, there was s roar from 20,000 throats, culminat. ing in a rush for the pavilion.
People remained there half an hour, calling on the heroes to come out. waving hats and sticks fren ziedly, and cheering as each appear ed,
The height of the crescendo was reached when, in response to per sistent calls. H. L. Collins (the Australian skipper) appeared or the verandah.Router.
Overwhelming Odds. Needing more than 400 runs in the fourth innings, the Australians faced overwhelming odds.
It is difficult even to surmise whether they went in to hit-an forlorn hope--or whether they tried to stick It und were prevent. ed from doing so.
In taking the risk of batting first on the drying wicket of Saturday, Chapman (the new captain of England) was amply rewarded as his anticipations about the fourth innings were, borne out.
