After their drawn match with Surrey at the Oval, it was refreshing to see that the toss was again won by the visitors. I. A. R. Peebles. who has been doing yeoman ser- vice for the 'Varsity this season, either struck an off-day or found the Aussies' batting too strong. because his bowling lacked sting and 406 runs were scored for the loss of only two wickets
W. H. Ponsford followed up his 131 against Derbyshire by scor- ing a brilliant double century— the third of the tour, Don Brad- man laying claims to the other two, and the eighth century scored by an Australian,
S. McCabe, the "baby" of the visiting side, scored 91 and was unlucky in not reaching his first on English soil. The century partnership between Ponsford and McCabe having been broken up, Allan Kippax stepped into the breach to put on over a hundred runs for the third wicket. At the close of play Ponsford was un- defeated with 220 to his credit and Kipax 56.
