Tuesday, January 3rd.

Announcement at beginning of first and secord broadcasts at 7.45 a.m. and 8.30 a.m.

We are now going to broadcast a description of the second Test Match between
England and Australia at Melbourne through the courtesy of the manufacturers of
GILLETTE razors and blades.

The GILLETTE manufacturers employ some of the finest engineers and metallurgists
in their laboratories continually conducting research work to improve the quality of
their products. It was in their laboratories that the principle of the slotted blade
was evolved, by this method it is possible to use a higher tempered steel and one
which will take a keener edge than ever before. Yet this can be done without the
risk of the blade cracking in the holder as would have happened with the old three hole
blades.

If you have not tried the new slotted GILLETTE blade, buy a packet today and
prove to yourself that it gives a keener shave and lasts longer than any blade you
have previously tried. Make sure you ask for the slotted GILLETTE blades which fit
all types of GILLETTE razors.

Immediately on the resumption of cricket today there began a most fantastic
collapse of the English batsmen, O'Reilly and Ironmonger running through the side
for a total of 139 runs and the match ended at four minutes to three, Australia
winning by 11l. runs.

The first to go was Sutcliffe, who was clean bowled by O'Reilly with the first
ball of the second over. Leyland, without another run being added, played on to Wall
and then one after the other the English batsmen came out from the pavillion and went
back again. Pataudi was caught at 2nd slip off a feeble shot and Jardine was caught
at first slip off the second ball he received; both these wickets falling to
Ironmonger who at this moment had taken 2 wickets for l run in 2 overs. Ames who was
next in tried to knowk O'Reilly off his length but made a wild slog and skied the ball
to square leg, where he was caught.

The score at this time was 77 for 5 wickets. In the first hour's play 5 wickets
had fallen for only 38 runs and the excitement of the crowd was intense. The bowlers
were turning the ball considerably but this does not appear to be sufficient to account
for our collapse. Hammond was the next to go, being caught at long off in trying to
hit O'Reilly. The 100 went up after 132 minutes play and with the prospect of an
Australian victory the crowd increased largely after lunch.
