Deadly Bowling Of Grimmett

And O'Reilly

England were all out in their second mnings for 141. Aus- tralia thus won the first Test by 238 runs.

At the time of going to press, only scores up till the tea in- terval were available, but it is presumed that Grimmett and O'Reilly continued to play havde with England's batsmen on a wicket that was beginning to show signs of wear when Australia resumed her innings when the fourth day's 'play commenced.

For Australia the evergreen Grimmett and O'Reilly were in deadly form with the ball while batting honours must go to Stan McCabe and the "surprise selection," L. Chipperfield.

The Second Test wil commence at Lord's on Friday, June 22, and it is expected there will be a number of changes in the team.
