Rec. Nov. 23, 7.40 p.m. . BRISBANE, Monday. There was fine weather and a plumb wieket for the resumption of the cricket match South Africa v. Queensland. There were 5000 spectators present, but the expectations that the visitors would compile a big score Was not realised. • The home attack was never loose, Oxenham ,the Australian fast bowler, breaking the stubborn partnership between'. Curnow and Vilijoen. Taylor's advent brightened play — he scored 48 in 47 minutes, secqring six fours and one sixer. Morkel was caught off the glove at short leg. McMillan looked 1'ike making runs when he was. dismissed by a brilliant catch low in the long field. ! There was enthusiasm when Gilbert, the aboriginal, -clean bowled Quinn, leaving Queensland- seven, rpns in the lpad . The early Queensland batsmen made • a poor showing against the bowling of Quinn and Morkel. At one stage Quinn had three wickets for five runs in five overs. . Gough and Hansen stopped the rot with a dogged partnership . Scores: — SOUTH AFRICA First Innings Mitchell, c Burns, b Thurlow ....
