[?]indwall Takes Six Notts Wickets For 14 Runs

Received Sundav, 7 p.m. LONDON, May 29. Tlie Australian fast liowier Lindwall, in a spectacular display of speed ami accuracy, anuihilated Nottinghamshire bgtting in tlie matcli which began today at Trent Bridge. Lindwall took six wickets for 14 runs and Notts were all out for 179.

When drizzling rain stopped plav at 5.15 p.m., Australia in their first innings had lost one wicket for 77 runs. If Lindwall had not' wrecked Notts innings 011 an easy, true wicket, the Australians would probably have had a big total to chase. Lindwall capped a great opening spell of seven nvers in which he took the tirst two wickets at a cost of 12 runs, with an annihilating after-lunch run of eight overs and one liall for four wickets cosling half a run apiece. It was the team's liest bowling performance since the tour began. The wicket gave the spin bowlers 110 help before lunch and very little after lunch. IkirdstalT and Simpson were associated in a third wicket partnership whicii seejned impregnable until Lindwall dismissed Ilardstaff. Then Notts lost seven wickets for (58 runs. Morris once more failed when he opened with Brown. This fine batsman is liaving a iean period against moderate bowling •ind as tlie first test is onlv 12 davs olf, his position might be in jeopardy. Brown and Bradman were quite untroubled by the Nottinghamshire bowling. Before rain stopped plav, the erowd in the afternoon was estimated at 30,000.
