CRICKET
Although England reached the healthy total of 521 runs in their first innings in the first Test at Brisbane, this feat is quite over-, shadowed by the sensational fail-' ure of Australia’s giant batsmen. Opening the first innings after the tea adjournment on Saturday four wickets fell for the paltry total of 44 runs. Ponsford was clean bowled by Larwood when he had scored but two runs, and Woodfull also fell to Larwood before he had scored; Larwood also beat Kelleway, and Kippax fell to Tate. Australia’s first innings in the test match closed for 122, but Gregory did not bat. The English captain decided to hat again, and when stumps were drawn, two wickets were down for 103.
