AUSTRALIA MASTERS

THE BOWLI NG

Bradman And Ponsford Create New Record

The Australians answered critics regarding their inability to score against fast bowling in no uncertain manner when they compiled the formidable total of 475 for two wickets in the first day's play in the Final Test at the Oval on Saturday.

Bradman (244) and Ponsford (205 not out) treated the cream of England's bowling with scant respect, and incidentally eä- tablished a new world mark in their second wicket partnership yielding 451 rans. England gave a poor display in the 'neid, missing the batsmen time after time.

The Australian opening bats- man, who alded Bradrian in the record fourth wicket stand at Leeds, was soon" most unhappy, ducking frequently in the face of England's "shock" attack, Both Bowes and Clark were bowling their fastest on a hard and fast wicket, one or two balls getting up very awkwardly.

Wyatt gave Clark the ball at 20. and with his ath delivery, the fast left-hander sent back Brown's off stump 21-1-10.

Don Bradman then joined Pous- ford and opened in characteristic manner, brillantly hitting Bowes to the boundary twice in one over, His first four scoring strikes all produced boundaries.

BRIGHT BATTING This sharp burst of scoring saw .. 52 hoisted after 81 minutes, and shortly after, the pair raised the 50 for the second wicket in 40 minutes. The batting was very bright, and contrary to all ex- pectations, in view of the Test be- ing a timeless encounter.

Bradman, however, later shut up like an oyster and Ponsford was 'left to do the majority of the scor-

ing. He reached

Bradman completed his second century after 285 minutes. and shortly, after the pair broke, their own Test record for any wicket 388 at Leeds last month.

Not content with this feat they carried on to beat the world re- cord for a second wicket stand in first-class cricket 398 by Arthur Shrewsbury

and George Gunn (Notts v Susex at Nottingham) in 1890.
