00:00:12There has been no more controversial pitch preparation in the history of Anglo-Australian
00:00:17test matches than the one for this opening test of the series here at the Gabba. There
00:00:22were suggestions that the pitch itself was a mud heap, that the game wouldn't go the
00:00:26full distance and that the curator, the Lord Mayor of Brisbane, Alderman Clem Jones, was
00:00:30wrong in his method of preparation. Well Ian Chappell didn't think too much of those suggestions
00:00:35when he went out to toss today because after he won from Mike Dines, he had no hesitation
00:00:39after rather a cursory inspection of the pitch in batting first.
00:00:43And direct to Wally Edwards. And this is high in the air. Amos under it and Amos has caught
00:00:53it. Wally Edwards out, caught by Amos down at fine leg.
00:01:09Oh, bowled him. Oh, York. Redpath bowled Willis for five. Redpath bowled Willis for five and Australia
00:01:19are two for ten.
00:01:25And back past the bowler. That might be the first four. It's going out towards the boundary.
00:01:29Nicely timed by Greg Chappell and that's it. First boundary.
00:01:34Now it's Greg to Ian Chappell.
00:01:38And Ian's hit that down to the boundary. Four runs.
00:01:43Short ball right inside it.
00:01:46Greg to Ian Chappell.
00:01:50And hooked high down to Lever but over his head this could be six.
00:01:54Yes. Yes.
00:02:02Lever with this long run from the southern end.
00:02:08And pulled back of the square leg past Hendrick for four.
00:02:15Four to Greg Chappell.
00:02:24And Greg Chappell finding the gap. Underwood chasing the Whitley's two here.
00:02:31In fact, a piece into the fence.
00:02:37That's the view from extra cover of Greg Chappell.
00:02:49And he stretched to reach that one but it'll be four.
00:03:02Greg Chappell, forty-six.
00:03:07And hit through the covers.
00:03:09Probably four. Yes, Dine's chasing. It'll beat him.
00:03:14There's Greg Chappell's fifty.
00:03:18Greg Chappell, fifty-one.
00:03:25You can see there that Lever takes something over forty paces to go back.
00:03:28Obviously when he's running to bowl, they're not their longest tries.
00:03:32But about forty to go back to his bowling mode.
00:03:33And about twenty coming in to bowl to Ian Chappell.
00:03:38And joined up the back foot.
00:03:41Wide of Dines. This will be four.
00:03:52And that's nicely hit too.
00:03:55Ian Chappell, four.
00:04:05They caught it slip. Caught it slip by Fletcher.
00:04:09Greg Chappell caught Fletcher.
00:04:11Bold Underwood, fifty-eight. Greg Chappell caught Fletcher.
00:04:15Bold Underwood, fifty-eight.
00:04:17Three for one hundred and ten.
00:04:25And a sweep shot. And it's going down towards the boundary.
00:04:28And yes, down to the fence for four.
00:04:30Didn't get onto it all that properly.
00:04:32But still, it's four runs.
00:04:37And back down the ground. Beautiful shot from Ian Chappell.
00:04:39That's one of the best forward strokes played all day.
00:04:42And into the fence it goes for four more.
00:04:50And down towards the fine leg boundary.
00:04:52It's a chase cross here for Underwood.
00:04:53He may just get to it. He does.
00:04:55Right in front of our broadcasting point.
00:04:56And they come back for two.
00:04:58And there's a good throw from Underwood.
00:04:59But that's the fifty to Ian Chappell.
00:05:05Fifty in one hundred and seventy-six minutes.
00:05:13He's hit that. That's just wider the field.
00:05:16He's been making the covers.
00:05:17That was Ed Richards.
00:05:18It's going out towards the boundary.
00:05:19It's slowing down.
00:05:20They've taken two.
00:05:21They'll probably run three.
00:05:23Here's the return coming in from Lever.
00:05:27Felt a dust flying about.
00:05:29It's a very strong, gusty, sour wester.
00:05:31Coming across from about extra cover.
00:05:37He's hit that.
00:05:38And he's hooked it where afterwards the boundary.
00:05:40And more runs.
00:05:59Good shot from Chappell.
00:06:01Magnificent shot.
00:06:03That's the second one of that type.
00:06:05He's played.
00:06:05The other one not quite as straight.
00:06:14To Lea Barker.
00:06:27Can you hit them?
00:06:28That still be four again?
00:06:29Yes.
00:06:30Moving into that one properly.
00:06:32And sweeping away hard.
00:06:34Backwards square lead boundary.
00:06:36Chapels 68.
00:06:36and that's 150 up for Australia, 3 for 153.
00:06:43Leave it to Ian Chappell.
00:06:49And there's a run here, there's a chance of a run out,
00:06:51it's on and just missing the stumps, that could have been out.
00:06:54The fieldsman reacting there, a good throw by Dinesse.
00:06:57It didn't miss by much, but Edwards survives.
00:07:01Chappell 69, Edwards 12.
00:07:05Underwood.
00:07:08And hit by Ross Edwards through the covers, wide of Amos,
00:07:11being chased by Dinesse.
00:07:13Two runs now, turning for three.
00:07:21Three to Ross Edwards, takes him to 15.
00:07:30And swung away by Chappell for four.
00:07:34Fast forward of square leg.
00:07:42In Chappell 74, 3 for 164.
00:08:08And driven wide of Hendrick for another four, on driven.
00:08:09And driven wide of Hendrick for another four, on driven.
00:08:12With Chappell's 10th four.
00:08:14And driven wide of Hendrick for another four, undriven.
00:08:20Ian Chappell 78, 3 for 168.
00:08:33In the air, it could be out here, it's underneath it, is it Greg?
00:08:35Greg's called for it, and he's out.
00:08:38Yes, Greg is very happy about that.
00:08:40Ian Chappell caught Greg, Bo Willis for 90.
00:08:43Edwards is not out 29.
00:08:45There are four wickets for 197.
00:08:48There are 11 sundries, and the next batsman should be Walters.
00:08:55And Walters has hit that, going out towards the boundary.
00:08:58It might not be four, it'll be close.
00:09:00The fieldsman's after it, he might just get to it.
00:09:02Yes, he's cut the four off, he's jumped the fence over there.
00:09:05Luckhurst coming in, and they'll take three.
00:09:08Australia have only lost four wickets with the 200 up.
00:09:14He's hit that, he could be caught.
00:09:16Yes, he's out caught.
00:09:18So Walters has been caught at wide bid on by Lever.
00:09:23Willis is the bowler again.
00:09:24Walters out for three.
00:09:26Edwards is not out 31.
00:09:27Five for 202.
00:09:40Brilliant ball, that one, and must have gone very close.
00:09:42He's out.
00:09:43Yes, he is out.
00:09:44He must be caught behind.
00:09:46A long deliberation by the umpire.
00:09:48The second day of the first test match began in perfect weather conditions,
00:09:52with Australia 219 for six.
00:09:54Marsh and Jen are the not-out batsman,
00:09:56and the home side needed a solid partnership from that pair
00:09:59if they were to reach any kind of respectable total.
00:10:11And he's got runs.
00:10:13Yes, it was in the air.
00:10:14Not a particularly good, well-played shot,
00:10:16but it's going to be four runs.
00:10:17It's going to be in the fence before.
00:10:19Lever couldn't get it.
00:10:24He's hit up in the air.
00:10:25It could be out here.
00:10:25It's going to be safe, I think.
00:10:27He's getting on it.
00:10:27Lever.
00:10:27Great catch.
00:10:30He covered a lot of ground,
00:10:31and the ball hung in the air,
00:10:33so Jenner is out.
00:10:34Court-leaver.
00:10:35Bold Willis for 12.
00:10:36Marsh not out, 13.
00:10:38Seven for 228.
00:10:41And Willis now has magnificent figures.
00:10:44Four for 31.
00:10:51In the air now.
00:10:52He's underneath this one.
00:10:52Doness is getting under it.
00:10:53He should be out and caught.
00:10:55Well caught again.
00:10:57Well, that was a fairly wild shot from Marsh,
00:10:59so Marsh is out.
00:11:00Court to Ness.
00:11:01Bold Hendrick for 14.
00:11:03Lily has not scored.
00:11:04Walker is the new batsman, Australia.
00:11:06Eight for 229.
00:11:10Two big bowlers for Australia.
00:11:12Looking a little bit of luck out there.
00:11:14You see that Lily is a tall mop of hair,
00:11:16and Walker's much the same physique.
00:11:19I think a bit broader than Lily.
00:11:21Okay.
00:11:21Okay.
00:11:22Okay.
00:11:27Now, an extra slip going into position.
00:11:29Willis.
00:11:31It's a third slip.
00:11:35And well driven by Lily.
00:11:36That's going to be at least one.
00:11:37That might be four.
00:11:38It was well-timed.
00:11:39It's a long chase for Underwood.
00:11:40He may just get to it.
00:11:41They've taken two,
00:11:42and they're coming back for three.
00:11:50And in there,
00:11:51and safe,
00:11:51it's going down towards the boundary.
00:11:52It could be four.
00:11:53Yes, beating the fieldsman.
00:12:00And a chance dropped.
00:12:02Magnificent effort by Knott.
00:12:03He couldn't get to it.
00:12:04Now, but we'll say this,
00:12:06the ball passed between the keeper
00:12:07and first slip.
00:12:15He's hit that hard and high.
00:12:16It's going out towards the boundary,
00:12:17and I think that's going to be four.
00:12:19Long chase for Dinesse.
00:12:20I don't think he'll make it.
00:12:21No, the ball just reaching the fence.
00:12:24And Lily on to ten.
00:12:25Walker ten.
00:12:27Eight for 249.
00:12:41And a good looking shot from Walker.
00:12:42That's going out towards the boundary.
00:12:43It won't be four.
00:12:44We have Lever running round.
00:12:45They'll make a comfortable two.
00:12:48Lily wants three.
00:12:49They're going for three.
00:12:49That returns on the way,
00:12:50and it's well run.
00:12:562.53 the total.
00:12:57Walker to 13.
00:13:04And in the air,
00:13:05and safe over the head of Underwood.
00:13:06Down to the boundary it goes.
00:13:07It may slow down,
00:13:08but it's going on,
00:13:09and Underwood don't think he'll get it.
00:13:11No, it's going to be four.
00:13:13And listen to that roar.
00:13:15It's like a football crowd.
00:13:18Willie goes up to 15.
00:13:19Walker 13.
00:13:212.57.
00:13:32Greg looks as though he's shortened his run
00:13:34and might bowl cut us.
00:13:38That's caught, is he?
00:13:39Let's see what happens here.
00:13:43He's out.
00:13:43Yes, he is out.
00:13:46I'm going to say Lillie has caught,
00:13:49not bowled Greg for 15.
00:13:53Walker is not out 13.
00:13:559 for 257.
00:13:57And Greg straightaway has success
00:13:59off the very first ball he bowled.
00:14:01His figures, 1 for 51.
00:14:03But, um,
00:14:05I would hazard a guess
00:14:07that when Tony Greg came to the bat increase,
00:14:10that he might be the recipient
00:14:11of one or two shorter pitch deliveries
00:14:13from Dennis Lillie.
00:14:15Let's see what he'll do to Jeff Thompson.
00:14:17Of course, I mentioned that it was the first ball
00:14:18since he changed his run-up to Lillie
00:14:21where he took that success.
00:14:22And let's see what this one is,
00:14:23and he's bowling to Australia's number 11, Thompson.
00:14:32And Thompson, like Lillie, in a sense,
00:14:35is making a test comeback
00:14:36because he was brought into a test match
00:14:38at a very young age,
00:14:39a couple of years back,
00:14:40and he played one test,
00:14:42I think it was, in Melbourne.
00:14:46Just wide of Edrich.
00:14:48This will be four.
00:14:59Four to Walker.
00:15:00Takes him to 18.
00:15:02Greg now to Walker.
00:15:06And just turned down to fine leg.
00:15:08This will be four.
00:15:09Wide of Amos.
00:15:18Oh, nicely driven.
00:15:19That's four.
00:15:21Four.
00:15:28Lever to Thompson.
00:15:33And driven back past the bowler.
00:15:35Long chase for Dennis.
00:15:37That's been turning for two.
00:15:40And going for three.
00:15:44A long throw from Dennis.
00:15:46Right back to the far end.
00:15:58So the field's heading a little bit more defensive
00:16:00for the last two batsmen now.
00:16:02Leave at a Walker.
00:16:07And just tickled down to fine leg.
00:16:09This could be four more.
00:16:11Yes, four more.
00:16:13Now it's Willis to Thompson.
00:16:16That's a run going down.
00:16:18That's the 300 up for Australia.
00:16:249 for 300.
00:16:26Thompson 19.
00:16:28Walker 36.
00:16:33Stand of 43 by those last two batsmen for Australia.
00:16:42300 up in 491 minutes.
00:16:44And the 650 taking 79 minutes.
00:16:49And that's a great shot by Walker.
00:16:51That's four.
00:16:52Facing out towards the boundary.
00:16:53The long boundary out there.
00:17:02Run here.
00:17:03Doness is very deep.
00:17:03A shot at the stumps at the far end.
00:17:04He hit the stumps.
00:17:05Is he out?
00:17:05Yes, he's run out.
00:17:07Australia all out.
00:17:08A magnificent throw from Vanessa Thompson.
00:17:10Run out 23.
00:17:12Walker not out 41.
00:17:1412 sunries.
00:17:15Australia all out 309.
00:17:17England will be starting their first innings
00:17:19at exactly 2 o'clock local time.
00:17:21So the Australian last wicket pair
00:17:23batted for 10 minutes after lunch.
00:17:25A very fine stand of 52.
00:17:29The 16,000 crowd happily watched the Australian tail wag
00:17:32and then settle back to watch the Australian fast bowlers
00:17:36perhaps repay some of the bounces given to them
00:17:38in the first innings on the first day.
00:17:41Dennis Lilley bowling the first over at the innings
00:17:44to Dennis Amos.
00:17:55And through the slips for four.
00:17:56It was almost a chance.
00:17:58It was no hands to it.
00:17:59I think the ball absolutely fell short of the fieldsman anyway
00:18:01but that's the first score off the bat.
00:18:19An appeal this time.
00:18:21He's walk.
00:18:21He's out.
00:18:22Brilliantly caught by Marsh.
00:18:24Luckhurst caught Marsh.
00:18:26Bold Thompson caught two.
00:18:37And in the air.
00:18:38Watch that.
00:18:39Is he out?
00:18:39He's out.
00:18:40Amos caught Jenner.
00:18:43Bold Thompson.
00:18:44The seven.
00:18:46Ed Rich is not out one.
00:18:48England two for ten.
00:18:50Exactly the same position as Australia.
00:18:52And Thompson has two for four.
00:19:00Oof.
00:19:02Lilley bowling to Ed Rich.
00:19:06Oh.
00:19:07Very close to Redpath.
00:19:10Lilley to Ed Rich.
00:19:14Through the slips.
00:19:15Just wide of Wally Edwards.
00:19:18Four runs.
00:19:27Lilley bowling to Ed Rich.
00:19:31That'll be four more.
00:19:32Wide of Gully.
00:19:33Wide of Jenner.
00:19:38Walker.
00:19:39Bowling to Dines.
00:19:43And that's four.
00:19:48Square cut for four.
00:19:53Dinesse, six.
00:19:54Ed Rich, 17.
00:19:56Two sundries.
00:19:56Two for 33.
00:20:09Two for LBW.
00:20:10He's given out without playing a shot.
00:20:14Dinesse, LBW.
00:20:15Two Walker.
00:20:17Four, six.
00:20:17He didn't offer a shot at it.
00:20:20Dinesse, LBW.
00:20:21Bob Walker for six.
00:20:22There's Fletcher's stance.
00:20:31And hit high over Slip's head.
00:20:34One bounce and over the fence.
00:20:41Fletcher, five.
00:20:43Ed Rich, 21.
00:20:45Three, four, 42.
00:20:54And that's lofted on drive for four.
00:20:57Well clear of Walters.
00:21:14And no point on is bowled.
00:21:16And no point on is bowled.
00:21:18Fletcher bowled by Lilly for 17.
00:21:21Ed Rich not out, 24.
00:21:23Four, four for 57.
00:21:25And Lilly has one for 16.
00:21:30And I think the storm signals are up.
00:21:34I think Lilly has intimated to Greg what his intentions are.
00:21:39He did so when he was batting.
00:21:41And I think Lilly's a man of his word.
00:21:46He's back on his full run, I should say.
00:21:50Lilly's calling players in.
00:21:51Redpath's being called in to a very short backward leg.
00:21:56Three slips in the gully.
00:21:57And Lilly, you can see how far it is.
00:21:59And he was in position before Greg was halfway there.
00:22:02But the game, really exciting now.
00:22:07The crowd really roared when that wicket fell.
00:22:09Four for 57.
00:22:10And Lilly, his first ball to Greg.
00:22:24Well, the fall of wicket for England has been 9, 10, 33, and 57.
00:22:28And England now in a position where they want to stand.
00:22:34And he's caught.
00:22:35No, it's safe.
00:22:36Down through the field.
00:22:37It was in the air between second slip and gully at catching height.
00:22:42But let's say he placed it well.
00:22:52And Greg, a good shot from Greg.
00:22:53I'd say that was an over-pitched ball.
00:22:55He really moved into it.
00:22:56And that's four all the way from the time it went off the bat.
00:22:59And Greg goes to eight and a total to 66.
00:23:04Thompson to Edridge.
00:23:09Runs here.
00:23:09No mid-off.
00:23:10Being chased by Ross Edwards from the covers.
00:23:12The batsmen completing their second run.
00:23:15The third day of the first test match at the Gabba began with Mike Dinesse using the heaviest
00:23:19possible roller on this unpredictable pitch.
00:23:22The pitch itself seemed to have lost quite a bit of the green tinge it had the day before
00:23:26and seemed likely to be considerably more in favour of the batsmen.
00:23:30The England not-out batsmen overnight were Tony Gregg and John Edridge.
00:23:34The England total was 114 for four, a deficit of 195, and we join play now with Australian
00:23:42fast bowler Geoff Thompson bowling to Tony Gregg.
00:23:46And upishly but wide of Ross Edwards.
00:23:49I think this will be four, although Walters is coming around the boundary very quickly,
00:23:52but it will just beat him.
00:23:58See Lily there with this new action after recovering from a serious back injury, and it's been a great
00:24:03performance by Lily.
00:24:05Voling to Edridge.
00:24:09A nicely played by Edridge, out square on the offside.
00:24:13Wally Edwards chasing from third man, the batsmen now back for two.
00:24:17And getting three as he didn't pick the ball up cleanly there.
00:24:26So Edridge, 46, and that means now he's passed 2,000 runs in tests against Australia.
00:24:32He needed one off that last shot, and that takes him to 2,002.
00:24:36John Edridge, in tests against Australia.
00:24:38Edridge, 46, Gregg, 42, four for 128.
00:24:45Lily now to Gregg.
00:24:50And is he, no dropped?
00:24:52Dropped by Jenner.
00:25:01Dropped by Jenner in the gully.
00:25:04And so a life for Gregg on 42, four for 128,
00:25:08and that was the last ball of Lily's over.
00:25:10Applause for him.
00:25:12Thompson to Edridge.
00:25:17And he caught this time by Ian Chappell.
00:25:19Edridge is out.
00:25:20Caught by Ian Chappell.
00:25:25Lily to Gregg.
00:25:31And that's four.
00:25:33Well, Gregg picked the gap there.
00:25:35There's three men pretty well close together.
00:25:38Thompson bowling to Gregg.
00:25:45And down, backward of point.
00:25:48Walters fielding.
00:25:49One run to Gregg.
00:25:50Brings up his 50.
00:25:53Nine sundries.
00:25:55Five for 140.
00:25:57One man out deep on the leg side, out at square leg on the fence.
00:26:00That's Walters, otherwise fairly orthodox field,
00:26:04with the exception that Thompson is a good deal finer than is usual for a leg spinner.
00:26:11And not helping that one away down to the fine leg fence, past Lily, square leg.
00:26:19Jenner to Nott.
00:26:23And cut between Ross Edwards and Thompson.
00:26:25It may beat Thompson to the fence.
00:26:27Yes, it will.
00:26:35And hit that one well.
00:26:36It's going down towards the boundary perfectly timed.
00:26:38That was a good shot from Gregg.
00:26:43And beautifully driven.
00:26:45Magnificent shot.
00:26:48I don't think the fieldman, Gregg Chappell, is going to get to it.
00:26:51He won't.
00:26:53And Gregg on to 62.
00:26:55Yes, it will be a day here at the Gabba, too,
00:26:58where the pace bowlers will tire very quickly because it's extremely hot.
00:27:01And Chappell is absolutely called upon
00:27:03to keep his faster bowlers operating short spells.
00:27:07And a caught.
00:27:08Yes, he's caught.
00:27:10Nott.
00:27:10Caught Jenner.
00:27:12Old Walker for 12.
00:27:14Gregg not out 62.
00:27:16Six for 162.
00:27:19And that went straight to him.
00:27:20It was a firmly hit shot straight to Jenner in the gully.
00:27:23And that's the sixth wicket to four.
00:27:28And short, yes.
00:27:29He's out.
00:27:30Caught by Ian Chappell.
00:27:31A chance there.
00:27:32Straight to Ian Chappell.
00:27:33His second chance.
00:27:34And Lever caught Ian Chappell.
00:27:36Bold Walker for four.
00:27:38Gregg is not out 64.
00:27:40Seven for 168.
00:27:42So Walker to Underwood.
00:27:44Well, that's a better one.
00:27:45That could be four.
00:27:46It's going out towards the boundary.
00:27:48I don't think Edwards will get to it.
00:27:49He really threw his bat at that.
00:27:50And into the fence it goes.
00:27:51Through the covers for four.
00:27:56Well, there it goes.
00:27:57Good shot.
00:27:57It's wide at Redpath.
00:27:58It's a chase out towards the boundary.
00:28:00But it's taken two.
00:28:02And it won't, or will it be?
00:28:03Yes, it is four.
00:28:05Here's Thompson from the northern end.
00:28:06Bowling to Gregg.
00:28:11And sliced over slips, heads for four.
00:28:14In fact, into the fence on the first bounce.
00:28:16Underwood on 12.
00:28:18Face Thompson.
00:28:25And that's four runs over the head of Ian Chappell at first slip.
00:28:29That brings up the two hundred.
00:28:33Australia's two hundred came up in three hundred and eighteen, which was about forty minutes faster.
00:28:38Thompson to Underwood.
00:28:42And Edwards can't cut that off.
00:28:44There'll be more runs here.
00:28:46Turning for two.
00:28:49And satisfied with that.
00:28:51Walker to Underwood.
00:28:55And cut for four by Underwood.
00:29:04I don't think there's anybody in this match who's caused the crowd to barrack more than
00:29:10Tony Gregg.
00:29:14They see him as the villain.
00:29:15And I imagine he's quite happy with that.
00:29:19Yes, I think he cultivates it.
00:29:20And still it'll be interesting to see if both these players stay fit for the four-six test matches.
00:29:25Just what it will develop into.
00:29:29They'll be bowling to Gregg.
00:29:34And that's four.
00:29:39And look at Gregg now, signalling four for himself.
00:29:46Well, it was hit uppishly, let's say that.
00:29:48It was certainly in the air, but well clear of the two fieldsmen out there.
00:29:53What a remarkable game this is developing into for the performances of the tail end batsmen, as we call them.
00:29:59I know that they can bat a little, but it's been a remarkable game.
00:30:02We saw that magnificent recovery by the Australian tail enders.
00:30:07And now we're seeing Underwood, who is not a real batsman, doing a great job for England.
00:30:12He's facing Walters and he's on 25.
00:30:18And that's lofted and caught by Red Park.
00:30:22And so the partnership breaker is struck again.
00:30:28Walters' first ball, and if ever Ian Chappell wanted the partnership broken, that was it.
00:30:35Underwood caught Red Path.
00:30:36Bold Walters, 25.
00:30:38Underwood caught Red Path in the covers.
00:30:40Bold Walters, 25.
00:30:44Lillie bowling to Gregg.
00:30:49And nicely driven and passed Max Walker for four.
00:30:56Takes Gregg to 97.
00:31:01Lillie to Gregg.
00:31:06And that could be his 100.
00:31:08It's wide of Walters.
00:31:09Walters coming around very quickly.
00:31:11And he can't get to it.
00:31:11There's his 100.
00:31:13Two successive fours to take him from 93 to 101.
00:31:19Lillie Gregg.
00:31:21101 not out.
00:31:22England 8 for 234.
00:31:46And that's gone down to long on for four.
00:31:49One bouncing over the fence.
00:31:57Greg 106.
00:32:008 for 239.
00:32:13Walters to Gregg.
00:32:17And another one lofted over the covers.
00:32:26Greg 110.
00:32:28Lillie to Willis.
00:32:33And another one hurt too.
00:32:54Lillie to Gregg.
00:32:58And that's ahead of Marsh.
00:33:00Four byes.
00:33:03Four byes.
00:33:07Well, he really belted that one down.
00:33:11Sundry is 17.
00:33:128 for 248.
00:33:16We've had 61 runs since the new ball came on.
00:33:20Yeah, 61 runs in even time.
00:33:26In fact, just over 50 minutes since the new ball came on.
00:33:3562 runs, in fact.
00:33:388 for 248.
00:33:40Lillie bowling to Gregg.
00:33:44He'll be caught behind.
00:33:46He's out this time.
00:33:53Gregg, Portmarsh, bold Lillie, 110.
00:33:59Gregg, Portmarsh, bold Lillie, 110.
00:34:06So Lillie eventually got his wicket.
00:34:08He had to wait a long time for it.
00:34:10And Gregg, who had scored so many runs behind the wicket on the offside, was eventually caught there.
00:34:15But once more, he'd made 110 runs before it happened.
00:34:21In the air, he could be caught here.
00:34:23And he's out.
00:34:23Yes, it's all over.
00:34:25Redpath has taken the catch.
00:34:29Hendrick caught Redpath.
00:34:32Bold Walker for four.
00:34:33Willis not out, 13.
00:34:35England all out, 265.
00:34:3744 the difference.
00:34:39Molly Abbott's facing Willis.
00:34:44Oh, that was a nasty one.
00:34:50Got him right on the side of the head.
00:34:55About the ear, I'd say.
00:34:56About the area of the right ear.
00:34:59Dinesse and Luckhurst and a couple of others having a look at it there.
00:35:06Willis to Wally Edwards.
00:35:11Then again he was hit and that very nearly trickled back onto his stumps.
00:35:15Once again, he didn't judge that short of ball at all.
00:35:29Willis bowling to Wally Edwards.
00:35:35Is he caught?
00:35:35Yes, he's caught behind by Knott.
00:35:39Wally Edwards caught Knott.
00:35:41Bold Willis for five.
00:35:44Wally Edwards caught Knott.
00:35:45Bold Willis for five.
00:35:47Hendrick to Redpath.
00:35:52And cut for four.
00:36:00Under a Tween Chapel.
00:36:17There's something happening over in the hill area again beside the school.
00:36:20There's a whole hail of cans going around the place there now.
00:36:23And that's causing a roar in that direction.
00:36:25But play goes on here.
00:36:30And he's caught.
00:36:31Yes, brilliantly caught at slip by Fletcher.
00:36:33A magnificent catch.
00:36:35And Ian Chappell.
00:36:35Call Fletcher.
00:36:36Bold Underwood for 11.
00:36:39Redpath.
00:36:40Not out.
00:36:4021.
00:36:41Australia.
00:36:42Two for 39.
00:36:43Greg Chappell is a new batsman.
00:36:44And Underwood has one for none.
00:36:54And not a good shot from Chappell.
00:36:56That was in the air.
00:36:56He tried to force that one away on the offside out to Amos and the covers.
00:37:22Amos coming in again.
00:37:23The end of a remarkable label from Underwood.
00:37:26It was a maiden either.
00:37:27His figures were one for none.
00:37:31Australia struggled to 51 for two at stumps.
00:37:34An overall lead of only 95 with eight wickets in hand.
00:37:37But then on out batsmen Ian Redpath and Greg Chappell.
00:37:40And Redpath was the only wicket to fall in that first two-hour session.
00:37:43He was beaten and bowled by a very good in-cutter from Bob Willis.
00:37:47Ross Edwards, the player who took his place, was just as tied down as Greg Chappell,
00:37:51the more experienced member of the partnership.
00:37:53And the 74 runs Australia made had to be very hard fought for.
00:37:57Greg Chappell now facing up to Underwood.
00:38:01He's hit that hard out towards the boundary.
00:38:03I don't think it will be four.
00:38:04They've taken one, coming back to two.
00:38:06Amos fielding there.
00:38:08And that's the 50 to Greg Chappell.
00:38:11His second 50 of the match.
00:38:13Greg Chappell is 50.
00:38:15Edwards, 39.
00:38:17Eight sunroofies.
00:38:18Three for 138.
00:38:20Greg bowing to Ross Edwards.
00:38:23Hit that over the head of Square Leg.
00:38:25A good shot.
00:38:25It's right over the head of the umpire.
00:38:27Into the fence for four.
00:38:32Hit that one.
00:38:33It's going down towards the boundary again.
00:38:35Four more.
00:38:38Edwards, 48.
00:38:39Chappell, 51.
00:38:41Three for 148.
00:38:43To Ross Edwards.
00:38:47And it runs here.
00:38:48Might be his 50.
00:38:49He could get two for this.
00:38:50They've taken one.
00:38:51Coming back to the second.
00:38:52That's the 50 to Ross Edwards.
00:38:53It's Leverfield.
00:38:56Ross Edwards, 50.
00:38:57Greg Chappell, 57.
00:39:00Greg to bowl to Greg Chappell.
00:39:05And he's hit that over the head of the Square Leg umpire.
00:39:07Afterwards, the boundary goes.
00:39:08That was a bowl shot, that one.
00:39:10It was right off the middle stump, I should think.
00:39:12And he just laid into it.
00:39:14He goes on to 62.
00:39:17Ross Edwards is 50.
00:39:19Three for 164.
00:39:23Underwood into the breeze from the southern end, bowling to Chappell.
00:39:35And bowled him.
00:39:37Fade over the top of it.
00:39:39And Chappell bowled Underwood for 71.
00:39:43Greg Chappell, bowled Underwood for 71.
00:39:46Edwards is 50.
00:39:4911 sundries.
00:39:50Four for 173.
00:39:51The partnership worth 114 runs for the fourth wicket from the northern end.
00:39:59Bowling to Walters.
00:40:02And hooked away.
00:40:05And just beating Lever into the fence.
00:40:15Well, that's the bowler.
00:40:22Smashed that one into the ground with another four.
00:40:30Willis to Edwards.
00:40:33And caught behind.
00:40:36One leaving the batsman.
00:40:37And Edwards caught not.
00:40:39Bowled Willis for 53.
00:40:42Edwards caught not.
00:40:44Bowled Willis for 53.
00:40:47Walters is 13.
00:40:49And it's 5 for 190 Australia in their second innings.
00:40:51The lead of 234.
00:40:53Willis now has 3 for 34.
00:40:57Willis to Walters.
00:41:02And that'll be 4, I think, being chased by Amos.
00:41:13He's hit that hard and high.
00:41:15It's going out towards the boundary.
00:41:16And that should be 4.
00:41:19Well, we haven't seen a shot like that fight against Underwood in this match, I don't think.
00:41:27He's hit that.
00:41:28It could be 6.
00:41:29Magnificent shot.
00:41:30Now bouncing over the fence on the first bounce.
00:41:32Or hitting the fence on the first bounce.
00:41:40And Marsh has hit that and it's firmly through the mid-wicket field.
00:41:44He just laid into it.
00:41:45And into the fence before it goes.
00:41:46And that's the first quarter of Marsh.
00:41:48He's on to 11.
00:41:505 for 235.
00:41:52With Walters on 45.
00:41:535.
00:41:565.
00:41:595.
00:42:08He's hit that one.
00:42:09Could be a 6.
00:42:10It's going very close to it.
00:42:11Could be 6.
00:42:12No, just bouncing over.
00:42:14And that, by the way, is the 50 partnership between these.
00:42:20And this one's a good one.
00:42:22Where's it going?
00:42:22Luckhurst is underneath it.
00:42:23It is fixed.
00:42:24Magnificent shot.
00:42:25Way over the top.
00:42:32And he's hooked that.
00:42:33A full shot.
00:42:34Now the Ness, if it had moved the other way, might have caught that.
00:42:43Great shot from Marsh.
00:42:45Tremendous hit.
00:42:47And there's something on that one.
00:42:48Marsh for 34.
00:42:50Walters 60.
00:42:515 for 274.
00:43:00That's high over the head of cover.
00:43:02It's going down towards the fence.
00:43:03It's being chased out there by the Ness.
00:43:05I don't think he'll get it.
00:43:05And into the fence it goes.
00:43:08Four more to Marsh.
00:43:09Marsh is 38.
00:43:10Walters 60.
00:43:125 for 278.
00:43:13Lever bowling without a slip.
00:43:18And hits straight back over the bowler's head.
00:43:21The side screen on the full.
00:43:25Hit the side screen on the full.
00:43:32Chapel's declaration left England 333 to make for victory with a day and 42 minutes to play.
00:43:38It would have been that long if the roller hadn't broken down and if the full time had been given
00:43:44to the rolling of the pitch.
00:43:45In fact it was only rolled for four minutes and the umpires had to call the groundsman back on to
00:43:49give it the full seven minutes rolling.
00:43:51We join play now with the Australian opening bowlers in action, Thompson and Lillie.
00:43:57Lillie to Amos.
00:44:02And that'll be four.
00:44:04A full toss.
00:44:06The square leg.
00:44:10Amos four.
00:44:11And England are none for four.
00:44:15Cloud's building up to the south.
00:44:17But Amos batting well back inside his crease.
00:44:20Front foot just touching it.
00:44:30Thompson to Amos.
00:44:35The second time he's had to sway away hurriedly.
00:44:45Thompson bowling to Amos.
00:44:53That is how Marsh has to leap to take that one.
00:44:56Amos just getting his bat away from it and I think the umpires are going to talk again and this
00:45:01might be a different story.
00:45:07I would say that
00:45:10if they talk again, well that might be that they'll go off.
00:45:15Especially so soon after the time before.
00:45:22No, it's a play on.
00:45:27This is an unusual situation because umpire Baylash has gone down to talk to
00:45:32Jeff Thompson and Ian Chappell going down there.
00:45:35Going straight down there to see what's going on.
00:45:37Whether he's been warned or not, I don't know because there's no way that the umpire can tell
00:45:41a bowler what to bowl.
00:45:43Certainly when he went back to Thompson it wasn't the light that I was talking about.
00:45:46No, no, no, it mustn't have been the light at all.
00:45:53Certainly umpire Baylash has spoken to Thompson and spoken to Ian Chappell and we can only assume that he's had
00:45:59one warning for short pitch deliveries.
00:46:03Thompson to Amos.
00:46:09That was quick.
00:46:12And the end of Thompson's over.
00:46:15Two off it.
00:46:16And England are none for ten.
00:46:18Unusual incident then because Thompson had bowled some two or three but we see the umpires now asking the batsman
00:46:24whether they'd like to go off.
00:46:26And the England batsmen are green very quickly and I couldn't help but agree with the batsman's decision, the umpire
00:46:35asks you to go off in these circumstances, then you go.
00:46:38The final day of the first test match at the Gabba.
00:46:41Well it began in perfect weather conditions with England ten for no wicket, Amos and Luckhurst the not out batsmen
00:46:47and the pitch with a little tinge of green and England facing an enormous task of needing to make 333
00:46:54to win.
00:46:54They had very little chance of doing that, only once in the history of test cricket has England made over
00:46:59300 to win a test match.
00:47:01We join play now with Lily bowling to Dennis Amos.
00:47:09And sliced for four between second slip and gully.
00:47:14Walters picking it up.
00:47:16That was where Redpath was moved from to go on the leg side.
00:47:21Amos now 13, none for 15.
00:47:25Luckhurst on one.
00:47:27Amos facing Lily.
00:47:36And the end of the over, but must have been quite close to the edge of the bet.
00:47:41Amos 13, Luckhurst one.
00:47:42One sundry, none for 15, England in their second innings.
00:47:51And his runs to Luckhurst is wide of Ross Edwards.
00:47:56Two runs.
00:48:00Luckhurst.
00:48:01Luckhurst three, none for 17.
00:48:04Amos on 13.
00:48:21Thompson bowling to Luckhurst.
00:48:24Thompson bowling to Luckhurst.
00:48:41And caught by Ian Chappell at first slip.
00:48:49Luckhurst.
00:48:50Caught Ian Chappell.
00:48:51Bold Lily for three.
00:48:53Luckhurst.
00:48:54Caught Ian Chappell at first slip.
00:48:56Bold Lily for three.
00:48:58England are one for 18, with Amos 14 not out.
00:49:01One sundry.
00:49:02And now Lily has one for 13.
00:49:11And through Walters for four.
00:49:14It was wide of Lily.
00:49:15Bounced in front of Walters and he couldn't stop it.
00:49:22Edridge goes to five.
00:49:24Amos 14.
00:49:26One for 23.
00:49:34Lily to Amos.
00:49:51Thompson to Amos.
00:49:57And there'll be one, maybe two here.
00:49:59Ross Edwards chasing.
00:50:00Going back for their second.
00:50:03Second.
00:50:04Second.
00:50:09Amos 18.
00:50:10One for 29.
00:50:30Thompson to Amos.
00:50:36And that'll be four byes.
00:50:38High and wide to the fence.
00:50:43Now you see here a most unusual field.
00:50:45Edridge obviously is hampered and he can't play any forward attacking strikes.
00:50:49And every fieldsman bar one is behind the wicket.
00:50:53Although we could count Redpath as just in front.
00:50:55But Edwards on the offside is the only man in front of the wicket.
00:50:58So there's the widest, probably, if we take it as a circle, two-thirds of this circle has no fieldsman.
00:51:04That's from forward square leg right round to cover.
00:51:14And bowled in.
00:51:17Edridge clean bowled by Thompson for six.
00:51:20Amos, not out 24.
00:51:22Seven sundries.
00:51:23England two for 40.
00:51:25The Ness is the new batsman.
00:51:27And Thompson one for 13.
00:51:30Thompson bowing to the Ness.
00:51:34And that was a pretty vicious ball, that one.
00:51:49And his runs here.
00:51:51There's a third man walker coming around.
00:51:52They've taken one.
00:51:53They'll go back for two.
00:51:59The Ness two, Amos 24, two for 42.
00:52:03The batsman out.
00:52:04Luckhurst caught Ian Chappell, bowled Lily three.
00:52:07Edridge, bowled Thompson six.
00:52:31And a good one from Thompson to end the over.
00:52:33His figure is six overs, one maiden, one for 15, two runs off the over, and a derivative image.
00:52:42That last delivery was an absolute beauty.
00:52:44It was a good outswinger that started above middle stump, had the Ness coming forward.
00:52:48And he was very lucky not to get an edge.
00:52:51He was also equally lucky not to be bowled by it.
00:52:59Chance, and he's out.
00:53:01Fought by Walters.
00:53:05That's much the same as Amos went out in the first innings.
00:53:08A rising ball.
00:53:09That time it went to Walters at third slip and not to Jenna in the gully.
00:53:12And Amos, a vital breakthrough for Australia.
00:53:15Caught Walters, bowled Thompson for 25.
00:53:18The Ness is not out too.
00:53:20Three for 44.
00:53:21And Thompson, two for 15.
00:53:24Walker to the Ness.
00:53:28And runs here.
00:53:29That's a nice forcing shot off the back foot.
00:53:30It should be four.
00:53:31Well, Edwards has given up the chase.
00:53:35And then Ness on to six.
00:53:37Fletcher, two.
00:53:39And that's the 50 up.
00:53:45And he's bowled him, has he?
00:53:47Or is he still there?
00:53:48No, the wicket is still there.
00:53:51He had a look to see if the bails were still there.
00:53:53He's played the ball, in fact, behind his body and just missing the stumps and finishing up with Wally Edwards
00:53:58at short backward leg.
00:54:10And this is a run, possibly two.
00:54:12It's a trace for Jenna.
00:54:13They've taken the first, coming back for the second.
00:54:21Fletcher on to four, and the total moving to 56.
00:54:27And the 46 run scored this morning in 100 minutes.
00:54:45Now, there's some disturbance.
00:54:46I think it's the people on the balcony again, perhaps, behind the sideboard, but all's right now.
00:54:56Again, a soaring ball from Thompson to end the over, and Thompson completes his eighth over, in which is some
00:55:04great deliveries, some wides, no balls, wickets, eight overs, one maiden, two for 18.
00:55:14Well driven, that's going down to the boundary for four, an over-pitch ball, and Dinesse moves on to 16
00:55:21now.
00:55:35And down for four more, I'd say.
00:55:37It's going down to the third-man boundary.
00:55:38There's nobody in the outfield.
00:55:40And Dinesse racing up to 20.
00:55:42Dinesse 20, Fletcher 5, three for 70.
00:55:49Edwards.
00:55:52Well, Dinesse apparently is determined to play shots.
00:55:59Certainly, this is the best way out of the England dilemma, I think, just to play the natural game.
00:56:08That one's through the field, that's going out towards the boundary, Edwards is very fast, won't reach it, and into
00:56:13the fence for four.
00:56:14Three for 76.
00:56:16And Dinesse has hit a few fours now, and here's 24.
00:56:19Let's just give you a number of those.
00:56:25Five, five fours and 24, no, four fours.
00:56:28Four and 24.
00:56:29Four and 24.
00:56:30One.
00:56:50Thompson to Fletcher
00:56:56and turned away back with a square leg
00:56:58just past Wally Edwards
00:57:00beating him to the fence
00:57:10and that to his edge but not carrying to Ian Chappell
00:57:14went to him on the bounce
00:57:37Thompson bowling to Fletcher
00:57:49Thompson to Bowe to Dinesse
00:57:51the other side of the fence
00:58:05he was going to be here to the other side of the fence
00:58:07and the other side of the fence
00:58:11he was going to be back with a high-tech
00:58:13and his son was going to be a guest
00:58:13he's going to be the first place
00:58:28Caught by Walters, Dinesse caught by Walters at third slip, Dinesse caught Walters, Bo
00:58:36Thompson, 27.
00:58:39Thompson bowling to Greg, and he's off the mark, might get two, Edwards chasing, and
00:58:50two to Greg, taking the score to four for 94.
00:58:54Jenner bowling to Fletcher, Fletcher on 19.
00:59:10Filled by Lily.
00:59:26And he's caught a slip, caught a second slip by Greg Chappell.
00:59:32It wasn't so long ago that the second slip was placed there.
00:59:36Chappell earlier was fielding a close extra cover, and Fletcher just getting an edge, and
00:59:42being caught by Greg Chappell after bowling of Jenner for 19.
00:59:46Fletcher caught Greg Chappell, bowled Jenner for 19.
00:59:51England are five for 94, with Greg on two, and now Jenner has one for seven.
00:59:56They're never quite certain just what the ball's going to do.
00:59:59It's only doing it occasionally, and of course, from a batting point of view,
01:00:02I think this is worse than anything else.
01:00:03If you're not sure you know you're going to get five balls will do the normal thing,
01:00:08and that odd one will suddenly do something, and this is what will worry any batsman.
01:00:12Thompson bowling to Greg.
01:00:18Oh, bowled him!
01:00:21Yorked him, legs dumped.
01:00:24And the jubilation from the Australian team.
01:00:30Greg bowled Thompson two.
01:00:32And England now six for 94, having lost three wickets since lunch for 14 runs.
01:00:40Greg bowled Thompson two.
01:00:41Thompson now has four for 28.
01:00:44Not the other batsmen yet to score.
01:00:48Last three wickets have fallen for two runs.
01:00:52England six for 94.
01:00:53Thompson bowling to Lever.
01:01:02And Lever agreeing with the crowd and the Australian players that that was very close.
01:01:28Thompson bowling to Lever.
01:01:33The overall BW.
01:01:37That must have been close.
01:01:44Thompson to Lever.
01:01:49And this is just out of the reach of Lely.
01:01:55Picked up by Wally Edwards.
01:01:59And one run to Lever.
01:02:00I don't think any comment is necessary at this over.
01:02:03Just listen to the applause from this crowd.
01:02:05For Geoff Thompson here you see on your screen.
01:02:13This one's safely hit away down to fine leg.
01:02:17Walter's coming round the boundary.
01:02:19Batsmen have two.
01:02:26Four there to Lever.
01:02:27Takes him to six.
01:02:30Six for 107.
01:02:34Six for 106.
01:02:36Not five.
01:02:38Lever six.
01:02:39And Jenner now has bowled six overs.
01:02:41No maidens.
01:02:42And taken one for 16.
01:02:43With five off the over.
01:02:50Lever.
01:02:51Lever lofting this one straight and safely.
01:02:53And long off for four.
01:03:01Saw him attempt a couple of lofted shots off Jenner before but that's the first time he's connected.
01:03:07Lever 13-6.
01:03:10114.
01:03:14Lever facing Jenner.
01:03:41Jenna bowling to Lever
01:03:47pulled away through mid wicket
01:03:49one run as Walters comes round
01:03:58Lever 14
01:03:596.115 with not on 6
01:04:17not facing Jenna
01:04:28so at the end of the over
01:04:316.115 England
01:04:343 hours left to go on the match
01:04:48in actual fact it's not quite
01:04:513 hours in time
01:04:52it's more the time up till
01:04:545 o'clock here local time
01:04:56with 15 overs to be bowled in the last hour
01:04:58which could take us past the normal finishing time
01:05:00the overrate for this match
01:05:02has been about 11 or 12
01:05:03so it could be something like 6.20
01:05:05if required
01:05:06but still here
01:05:08over 50 minutes to go before T
01:05:09and then a full session after that
01:05:18and that's in the air
01:05:19he's out
01:05:20caught by Redpath
01:05:21Lever turning his back on the ball
01:05:24so Lever

01:06:00Lilley 14
01:06:05and that's going down
01:06:06towards the boundary
01:06:06there's no fieldsman
01:06:07within a long way
01:06:08of that
01:06:08a long chase
01:06:09round for Walters
01:06:09and into the fence
01:06:10for 4 it goes
01:06:12Underwood goes
01:06:12onto 5
01:06:13not is 6
01:06:14it's 7
01:06:14rickets for 120
01:06:17well the real destroyer
01:06:18so far for Australia
01:06:19has been Thompson
01:06:20he has the magnificent figures
01:06:224 for 30
01:06:23Thompson 4 for 30
01:06:25Lilley 2 for 25
01:06:26Walker none for 25
01:06:27and Jenna
01:06:281 for 27
01:06:29and there's the man
01:06:30of the moment
01:06:31Jeff Thompson
01:06:31who's been out
01:06:32of the attack
01:06:32for about
01:06:347 or 8 overs
01:06:35may come back on
01:06:36soon
01:06:36but here's Jenna
01:06:37first of all
01:07:02and not a bad shot
01:07:03from Underwood
01:07:04he waited for it
01:07:04and he's got 4 more
01:07:05that's a more authentic
01:07:07strike than the last one
01:07:08into the fence
01:07:08it goes
01:07:09and Underwood
01:07:09onto 9
01:07:10not 6
01:07:117 for 124
01:07:28and save over the
01:07:29head of the slips
01:07:30it's going down
01:07:30towards the boundary
01:07:31and it went right
01:07:32over the top
01:07:35perfectly safe shot
01:07:36there was nowhere near
01:07:37any fieldsman
01:07:38too high for any of them
01:07:39and not goes to 10
01:07:40not 10 Underwood
01:07:4213
01:07:44and that means
01:07:46that England
01:07:47now are exactly
01:07:47200 behind
01:07:48just wondering
01:07:50about the wisdom
01:07:51of the field placement
01:07:52here
01:07:52I think runs
01:07:52are of no consideration
01:07:53I think virtually
01:07:54everybody could be
01:07:55around the band
01:07:57yes it is deep
01:07:57in places
01:07:58but Jenna
01:07:59Bowling to not
01:08:01well that's going
01:08:02down to the fence
01:08:03it goes for 4
01:08:03it's a shorter ball
01:08:05outside the leg stump
01:08:06a loose delivery
01:08:07from Jenna
01:08:15and through the covers
01:08:16a nasty time shot
01:08:17chase for Wally Edwards
01:08:19he may not reach this
01:08:20into the fence
01:08:21it goes for 4
01:08:22and not to 19
01:08:247 for 143
01:08:26with Underwood 15
01:08:37it could be a catch
01:08:38it's just short of Jenna
01:08:40hit him on the hand
01:08:41and he's
01:08:41threw his gloves off
01:08:43that must have hurt
01:08:43on his right hand
01:08:52well off the hand
01:08:53it therefore is a catch
01:08:55if it goes into the field
01:08:56and it was bouncing
01:08:57short of the
01:08:58and wide of the
01:08:59gully fieldsman
01:09:01Thompson Bowling
01:09:02to Underwood
01:09:07and over slips
01:09:08head for 4
01:09:13Australia of course
01:09:14all out on the attack
01:09:15and with no fieldsman
01:09:16out deep at all
01:09:17the fieldsman
01:09:17in the close positions
01:09:19with the exception
01:09:20of Edwards
01:09:20out on the covers
01:09:23and that takes
01:09:24Underwood to 19
01:09:25and brings up
01:09:26the 150
01:09:277 for 151
01:09:34now Lakhurst
01:09:34out this morning
01:09:35for 18

01:09:36wickets
01:09:36with the score
01:09:37at 40
01:09:37and then 44
01:09:38when Edridge
01:09:39and Amos
01:09:39were dismissed
01:09:39and a partnership
01:09:41of 48

01:09:51was 92
01:09:52when Dinesse
01:09:52was out
01:09:53and then Fletcher
01:09:53out two runs
01:09:54later
01:09:54then with no addition
01:09:55to the score
01:09:56Greg was out
01:09:57so one stage
01:09:57England lost
01:09:58three for two
01:10:00then they added
01:10:01another 21 runs
01:10:02before Lever was out
01:10:03and that was the last
01:10:04wicket to fall
01:10:06and that was
01:10:0736 runs ago
01:10:12facing Thompson
01:10:18and just passed
01:10:20Jenner's outstretched
01:10:20hand
01:10:21and this will be
01:10:21another four
01:10:26taking Underwood
01:10:27to 23
01:10:29third top score
01:10:31and 7 for 155
01:10:41Underwood now

01:10:54Thompson bowling to him
01:10:59and that's another one
01:11:00again just
01:11:02out of the reach
01:11:03of Jenner

01:11:09his utmost
01:11:09to Fawsey

01:14:21by 166
01:14:23runs
01:14:23Thompson
01:14:25finishes this
01:14:25innings
01:14:26with 6 for 46
01:14:28a splendid
01:14:29bowling performance
01:14:29then from
01:14:30Jeff Thompson
01:14:31he bowled
01:14:31really fast
01:14:32today
01:14:32as indeed
01:14:33he has done
01:14:33throughout this
01:14:34match
01:14:34and a great
01:14:35psychological boost
01:14:36for him
01:14:36and for Ian
01:14:37Chappell
01:14:38and Dennis
01:14:38Lilly
01:14:38and in fact
01:14:39for the whole
01:14:39of the Australian
01:14:40side
01:14:40for the Perth
01:14:41test match
01:14:42which will be
01:14:42played on a
01:14:43pacey bouncy
01:14:44pitch
01:14:44now talking of
01:14:45pitches
01:14:46this one
01:14:46here I thought
01:14:47was a little bit
01:14:47untrustworthy
01:14:48and perhaps
01:14:49in the end
01:14:49not quite
01:14:50up to
01:14:51test match
01:14:51standard
01:14:52at one end
01:14:53the ball came
01:14:53at varying heights
01:14:54and I don't
01:14:55believe that
01:14:55any test match
01:14:56batsman
01:14:56should be
01:14:57faced with
01:14:57the problem
01:14:57of batting
01:14:58against
01:14:58bowlers
01:14:59of that
01:14:59pace
01:15:00and not
01:15:00being quite
01:15:01sure
01:15:01at what
01:15:02height
01:15:02the ball
01:15:02will come
01:15:03the groundsman
01:15:04had difficulties
01:15:04two days
01:15:05before the
01:15:05game
01:15:05and in the
01:15:06end
01:15:06I thought
01:15:07it was
01:15:07just on
01:15:08the side
01:15:08of
01:15:08untrustworthy
01:15:10now the
01:15:11MCC team
01:15:11will have
01:15:12an additional
01:15:12player added
01:15:13to their
01:15:13party
01:15:14sometime
01:15:14in the
01:15:14next
01:15:1424 hours
01:15:15and I
01:15:16believe
01:15:16I strongly
01:15:17believe
01:15:18that it
01:15:18should be
01:15:19an experienced
01:15:20player
01:15:20rather than
01:15:20one of
01:15:21the younger
01:15:21players who
01:15:22may come
01:15:22under
01:15:23consideration
01:15:23like say
01:15:24Frank Hayes
01:15:24who's had
01:15:25no experience
01:15:25of Australian
01:15:26conditions
01:15:26I think
01:15:27they need
01:15:27someone who
01:15:28has been
01:15:28here before
01:15:29someone who
01:15:30plays fast
01:15:30bowling pretty
01:15:31well and I'd
01:15:31suggest that
01:15:32Colin Cowdery
01:15:33might just be
01:15:34the man to
01:15:34do that
01:15:34Ian you must
01:15:35be highly
01:15:36delighted with
01:15:36what happened
01:15:37today
01:15:37certainly been
01:15:38a very pleasing
01:15:38day Rich
01:15:39you know the
01:15:40first test
01:15:40match of a
01:15:41series was
01:15:41always a
01:15:41worrying time
01:15:42and Friday
01:15:43morning things
01:15:44weren't so good
01:15:44but the
01:15:45fellas have
01:15:45done very well
01:15:46right through
01:15:46and certainly
01:15:47kept it with
01:15:47a tremendous
01:15:48performance
01:15:48today
01:15:48now there's
01:15:49a lot of
01:15:50controversy about
01:15:50the pitch
01:15:51the deluge
01:15:52in the early
01:15:52hours of
01:15:53Wednesday
01:15:53morning
01:15:53and finally
01:15:54they got it
01:15:55fit for play
01:15:55which was
01:15:56something of a
01:15:56small miracle
01:15:57how do you
01:15:57think it played
01:15:59particularly with
01:15:59reference to
01:16:00that far end
01:16:01I thought it
01:16:02was a pretty
01:16:02good cricket
01:16:02wicket really
01:16:03it certainly
01:16:04had lasted
01:16:05very well
01:16:05there was a
01:16:06good covering
01:16:06of grass
01:16:07and it
01:16:08hadn't gone
01:16:08to pieces
01:16:08at all
01:16:09today
01:16:09there was
01:16:10just an
01:16:10odd one
01:16:10keeping low
01:16:11and an
01:16:11odd one
01:16:11taking off
01:16:12off a good
01:16:13length
01:16:13but this
01:16:14probably had
01:16:14a lot
01:16:15to do with
01:16:16the pace
01:16:16of the bloke
01:16:17who was
01:16:17bowling
01:16:18Thompson
01:16:18he bowled
01:16:18tremendously
01:16:19quickly and
01:16:19he seemed
01:16:20to be able
01:16:20to get
01:16:20the ball
01:16:21up a good
01:16:21length
01:16:21and also
01:16:22at times
01:16:23Lily was
01:16:23able to
01:16:24get it
01:16:24up a good
01:16:25length
01:16:25how would
01:16:26you compare
01:16:26their respective
01:16:27paces
01:16:27because English
01:16:28audiences saw
01:16:29Lily in full
01:16:29cry in 72
01:16:30how quick do you
01:16:32reckon this
01:16:32fellow is
01:16:33it's pretty
01:16:34hard to compare
01:16:35them I think
01:16:36Dennis lets
01:16:37the odd one
01:16:37go that's
01:16:38very quick
01:16:39and probably
01:16:40that one
01:16:40there's not
01:16:40much difference
01:16:41I think
01:16:41but Thompson
01:16:42Thompson seems
01:16:43to
01:16:43his quick ball
01:16:44is not a
01:16:44bouncer
01:16:45it's one
01:16:45that's just
01:16:46short of a
01:16:46length
01:16:46and it really
01:16:47takes off
01:16:48I don't
01:16:48know
01:16:48they seem
01:16:49to be
01:16:49going quicker
01:16:50when they
01:16:50get to
01:16:51Rod Marsh
01:16:51at times
01:16:52and sometimes
01:16:53they go past
01:16:54the best
01:16:54and they seem
01:16:54to get quicker
01:16:54I don't know
01:16:55but he's
01:16:55certainly very
01:16:56quick and his
01:16:57ability to get
01:16:58the ball up
01:16:58off a good
01:16:59length was
01:16:59tremendous
01:16:59now your
01:17:01your chaps
01:17:01I suppose
01:17:02yourself included
01:17:03had a little
01:17:03bit of trouble
01:17:04with John
01:17:04Snow and
01:17:05Peter Levout
01:17:05here in
01:17:061970-71
01:17:07and the other
01:17:07fast bowlers
01:17:08and then Snow
01:17:08and Arnold
01:17:09in 72
01:17:10what about
01:17:11the English
01:17:11batting technique
01:17:12against Thompson
01:17:13in this match
01:17:15well it's
01:17:15you know
01:17:16when a fella
01:17:16suddenly hits
01:17:17it like this
01:17:18in the first
01:17:19test match
01:17:19of a series
01:17:19it's going to
01:17:20give them a lot
01:17:21to think about
01:17:23he's a very
01:17:24difficult bloke
01:17:24bowling like that
01:17:25it's very difficult
01:17:26to work out a
01:17:27technique to him
01:17:27I noticed the
01:17:29Englishmen
01:17:29two or three
01:17:30of them all
01:17:30tried different
01:17:30ideas and I
01:17:31suppose they'll
01:17:32keep working at
01:17:32it until they
01:17:34well they'll be
01:17:34hoping to get
01:17:35some sort of
01:17:35solution but
01:17:36he's a damn
01:17:37difficult man to
01:17:37get a good
01:17:38technique against
01:17:39and I don't
01:17:41know it's going
01:17:42to give me a
01:17:42few thoughts
01:17:43for the next
01:17:43time we play
01:17:44him in a
01:17:44shiver match
01:17:44you'd rather
01:17:45have him on
01:17:45your side
01:17:46than up
01:17:46against you
01:17:47I said to
01:17:48Greg the other
01:17:48day I said
01:17:49you know it's
01:17:50not only a pretty
01:17:50face you've got
01:17:51there if someone
01:17:52gave you a brain
01:17:52as well getting
01:17:53him up here to
01:17:53Queensland
01:17:54but now what
01:17:55about the
01:17:55Perth test match
01:17:56that's going to
01:17:56be on a
01:17:57pacey bouncy
01:17:57pitch and I
01:17:59suppose you're
01:18:00looking forward
01:18:00to it now that
01:18:01you've had your
01:18:01chaps bowled so
01:18:02well on this
01:18:02one yes I
01:18:04think it well
01:18:05it should suit
01:18:05our bowling
01:18:06attack there's
01:18:08no reason why
01:18:09Jeff shouldn't
01:18:09bowl well over
01:18:10there once again
01:18:11it sort of suits
01:18:12just short of a
01:18:13length bloke who
01:18:13can get the ball
01:18:14up and this is
01:18:15certainly Jeff
01:18:16Dennis I thought
01:18:17has bowled well
01:18:18in this game but
01:18:19you know he hasn't
01:18:20got great rewards
01:18:20and obviously at
01:18:21some stage or
01:18:22other he's going
01:18:22to bowl pretty
01:18:23well in this
01:18:23series probably a
01:18:24few times
01:18:25hopefully and
01:18:26so it's a good
01:18:27situation and then
01:18:28Maxie Walker who
01:18:29I've got tremendous
01:18:30respect for coming
01:18:31along as a third
01:18:32seamer it's a good
01:18:33situation to be in
01:18:34at the moment
01:18:34Ian thank you very
01:18:35much indeed
01:18:35pleasure
01:18:36unbelievable
01:18:38unbelievable
01:18:38Go away!
