was playing in a most unusual way. Perhaps the fact that Brodman was bowled first ball by Bowes had a good deal to do with the trouble. Next day Australia were all out for 281 runs but England did not come off at all well and only Sutcliffe, Allen and Leyland did anything at all

England had to get 208 runs to win and it looked easy money but the pitch definitely did not play as It should have done for there had not been a lot rain.

It was in the third Test that the riot really happened. The behaviour of the spectators was disgraceful one must regretfully state that players and the authorities of, the home side were not entirely blame- less, Suffice it to say that England made 341 and 412 while Australia made 222 and 193. It is interesting to note that poor Larwood, who was considered the villain of the piece, did not do particularly well as he only took three for 55 and four for 71. There was nearly a cessation of the tour but matters were more or less patched up.

THE FOURTH TEST Led by two to one, the Austra- lans had to save the match If they lose the rubber at once. were not Australia won the toss and put to- gether 340 runs. At the end of the third day England had lost eight men for 271 runs, and that after 114 runs had been put up for the first wicket by Jardine and Sutcliffe but Paynter, who came off a bed of sickness to bat number eight, scored 83 and Eng- land led by 16 runs on the first in- nings. In the second innings Aus- tralia was disposed of for 175 runs owing to magnificent bowling and delding by England. England got wickets and the runs (162) for four had won the rubber. Leyland batted very finely in this last

innings. THE FINAL TEST England won the last Test by eight wickets. It was rather an anti- elimax as both sides slacked off and the Felding was not very good. Aus- tralla started well enough as they made 435 but once more our excellent batting led this big score by ninc- teen runs and with Australia failing only 182 off uns

Hammond had a share in the victory as he made 101 and 75 not out. Wyatt, who had 51 in the first innings was 61 not out in the second. So ended the rubber with a win for England by four matches to one but I think overyone was glad when it was over and the most painful tour that Eng- land had ever made in Australia came to an end.
