As the time was limited to one day and tte Australians could not bispose of their opponents twice, the match was drawn, Scotland scoring 162 and 79 without the loss of a wicket. The wicket remained good and played fast. The batting was rather better than the score indicates, some of the off strokes being hard and well-timed and eluding the fielders. Campbell and Fergusson scored at a good rate, both flitting fours off Malley and Ryder. They come together at 76, and brought the century up after two tours' play, but were separated at 122.
