WIN THRILLS, BUT ENGLAND NEE
BETTER
FORM
From UN LEY, The Globe's Representative in Adelaide
England's prestige was restored somewhatl
yesterday afternoon when it fought back deJ
terminediy and in a thrilling finish beat South!
Australia by 21 runs.
South
A u s tralia
seemed
certain
to
win
when
at
lunch
they
were
3
for
100
and
needed
only
74
for
victory.
But they were dismissed
for 152.
Tvson,
opening
the
af- f
ternoon'session, struck the
t
blow
for
England;
when
he
bowled
Favell
with the second ball..
From then on the Englishmen
fought
back
in
grand style.
Their bowlers never let
up,
and
were
well
supported
by keener
fielding.
Langley
threatened
to
unsettle
the —— bowling,
but
when he went for a big hit
and
was
bowled,
South
Australia were in trouble.
He m t three fours
from

His return marked

The Englishmen showed
true fighting Qualities, but
they will have to improve
on this showing to really
extend the other States.

record last season, and

particularly strong.
Langley is the only Test
certainty.
Not impressive
Before lunch the spinners
McConnon and
Appleyard had a wicket,
which -was worn, and
should have been to their
liking, but neither was
over impressive.
But Appleyard starred
later.
Generally the fielding of
the visitors was not up to
the standard expected of
an MCC side.
SA were able to gather
many extra runs
because
of
indifferent
returns
to
the 'keeper.
Tyson's bowling
was
a
redeeming feature for the
MCC.
He usually looks dangerous,
and his pace and improved
direction could
rove a nuisance to Aus-
tralia later in the tour.
Appleyard, too. with!
more experience, could be
a danger.
Fa veil, in his 47 today, 1
gave further proof of his.
ability and ideal temperament.
