BOUNDARIES AND JEERS

THE LEG THEORY

Oldfield was, therefore, undefeat- ed, having collected 42 runs during his stay at the wickets and at a time when the English bowlers were sending down some good bowling.. He was at the wicket for one and a half hour while Australia's in- nings spread over 605 wickets. "Mr. Extras" was very partial towards the Australians. contributing no less than 33 to their total. #

"Thus the Australians' innings closed for 701 runs, which was only 28 runs behind the highest total in the Test series between the two countries, the best score being 729 for 6 declarel, by Australia at Lord's in 1930. when Australia won by se- ven wickets.
