Another Convincing Win For Australia Certain

' Copyright )

Received Friday, 10.50 a.m. LONDON, May 20. Australia seems likely to gain the sixth innings win of the tour against Oxford. The University team failed in their first innings and was forced to follow on. At stumps they were still 192 runs behind Australia and had four down in their second innings. W. . Johnston twice started the Oxford team on theh way to disaster. He took the second and third wickets in Oxford's first innings with successive balls when the University score wp.s 19. Tlien, in the second innings, he bowled the opener Bloy at 23 and had Web'c caught at 33. Kardar was the only batsmen to tackle the bowling confidently. He reached 54, but a big score from him will be necessary tomorrow to avert an outright defeat. Details: — AUSTRALIA First Innings Brown, lbw, b.
