RECORDS TOPPLE IN FIFTH CRICKET TEST MATCH
M.C.C. WELL ON WAY TO GREAT PERFORMANCE
EDRICH MAKES AMENDS FOR PAST FAILURES
The M.C.C. tourists in South Africa are well on the way to putting up the highest score over made in a fourth innings. Set to make 696 in order to win in the Final Test, now being played at Durban, the English cricketers had scored 496| for the loss of only three wickets at close of play yesterday, and now need only 200 runs with seven wickets in hand.
As it is, the M.C.C. have already broken the record fourth innings total in a Test, 411 made by England against Australia at Sydney in the 1924-25 series-in spite of this England lost by 193 runs-but they are still 76 behind the 572 made by New South Wales against South Australia at Sydney in the 1907-8 season.
Durban, Mar. 13,
A record partnership in Test matches between England and South Africa was established by Gibb and Eirich to-day when they brought the M.C.C. second innings score in the Final Test to 333 for 1 at lunch time. The previous record was held by Sutchlite Anch Tyldesley, whose parnership at Johannesburg in the 1027-28 tour produced 230 runs.
It was a glorious wicket which was rolled out well, although slightly worn in spols, when the spectators began together this inorning. Walter Hammond, M.C.C. captain, was in no mood to take any chances and warned the spectators through loudspeaker not to approach the wieket, which showed slans of crack- Ing.
