GA Review

[edit]

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch

Australia had proceeded through the first two months of the tour undefeated.

What tour?

Australia dropped Brown, who had scored 73 runs at 24.33 in three innings...

"at 24.33" what? Per inning, or over, or what?

The match started amid clear weather, a far cry from the previous Ashes Test at the ground in 1938, which was abandoned without a ball being bowled. The outfield was also smooth and green, a far cry from the Second World War when it was cratered from Germany bombing raids.

Two "a far cry"s don't sound very good.

Lindwall then struck Edrich on the hand with a short ball, provoking angry heckling from spectators who compared him to Harold Larwood.

Why did they compare him to Larwood?

After the day's play, Washbrook shouted Hassett a drink.

"shouted Hassett a drink"?
