despite the rapid succession of wickets which saw half lhe side out for 81. they never let up on their search for quick runs. It took youngster Michael Holding, playing in his first Test primarily as a pace bowler, to pull the innings round in an invaluable partnership of 72 with experienced wicketkeeper batsman Deryck Murray. Leaving Murray to flay the Australian attack to the tune of three sixes, and seven fours in a blistering innings of 66, Holding showed a precise batting technique for a fine 34 to shame the recognised batsmen. The pair carried the score from 6 for 125 at lunch onto 171 Murray stayed until the score had reached 199 and then became Gil-mour's fourth victim with Ali (12) following him back to the pavilion with the total unchanged the sole reward for Thomson's 10 overs at a cost of 69 runs.

Roberts and Gibbs managed to push the score beyond the 200 mark before Roberts fell to Ashley Mallett in the off-spinner's first over, to end the innings.

LONDON, Friday. An injury-hit Wallabies XV face formidable opposition tomorrow when they tackle Swansea, one of the great Rugby Union clubs of Wales at the St Helen's Ground, Swansea. It will be a full-dress rehearsal for the Australians, who face the first international of their tour against Scotland al Mur-rayficld a week later. The selection at Swansea is restricted. Skipper John Hipwell cannot play because of knee trouble and centre Geoff Shaw suffered a recurrence of a ham-string injury yesterday.

In Shaw's absence John Berne, who is the tour form centre, will partner tomorrow's captain David L'Estrange. Apart from Hipwell and Shaw, lock Mark I.oanc. flanker Ray Price and full-back Mike Fitzgerald are scattered in various parts of Britain receiving treatment for problems that are robbing them of seemingly certain Test places. However, the Wallabies are playing so well and they have such a depth of talent that such losses can be covered without severely weakening the team. The team for Swansea is: McLean: Batch line for his fourth successive win.

Thco Green, a former Rosehill man but now at Randwick, has 6-4 favourite Zadah in the Narrabeen Graduation. Green's apprentice Malcolm Johnston could be the jockey to follow despite his failure at Canterbury on Wednesday and his poor record at lhe last three meetings at Rosehill. Scots name strong: team Scotland has named a powerful and experienced set of forwards to play the Wallabies in (he Test at Murrayficld next Saturday. Prop lan McLachlan will captain the Scots and tight head prop Sandy Carmichael earns his 41st cap, a Scottish record. Only newcomer is at lock, where gangling, George Mackie, 6ft 5in, gets his Test chance at last.

England's Johnny Johnson will referee the match. The Scottish team is: Hiv A Irvine Rcrmlck I Morqan: Leslie Mackie Lauder Brown A McHarg A Carmichael Fisher McLauoh-lan (capt). The locals will saddle the early favourite or equal in all races except the Seaforth Handicap and the Narrabeen Graduation Stakes, in which equal second favourite Come True is Roschill-traincd. John Norman could begin the day by winning the first race, the Bclrose Handicap, with his promising two-year-old Oratorio. Bede Horan has equal favourite Sabron in the First Pittwater Graduation and Vic Thompson Junior will saddle 5-4 on favourite Purple Pride in the Brookvale Graduation.

Dr Geoff Chapman has 5-4 favourite Selscy in the Fairlight Flying. Ray Guy has equal second favourite Come True in the Narrabeen Graduation and 6-4 favourite Tensing in the Harbord Welter. Queenslandcr Bur-wana, who is at Kevin Hayes's stables at Rosehill, could complete the day. for the locals by winning the last the Second Pittwater Graduation. Judging by early markets, bookmakers consider thai Bart Cummings could win the Scaforih Handicap with 6-4 favourite Daily who is in one knee at first slip, takes bowling of Ashley Mallett, innings at 214 at the Gabba a good catch to dismiss and wrap up the West yesterday.

Spendthrift batting puts Indies in peril ''Estrange (captain) Bern Monaghan: Hindmarsh Hau-scr; Lambie Cornelsen A Shaw Smith Fay Mcadoes Horton Graham. From BILL O'REILLY BRISBANE, Friday. The Gab-ba's highly criticised pitch has played no more than a psychological role so far in the first Test. SEVEN'S SPORTS SPECTACULAR Turner, struck on the right knee and the body by West Indies pace bowlers, Andy Roberts and Michael Holding, needed the aid of a runner to carry on his innings. But by stumps he was still unbeaten on 55 with lan Redpalh (38), as Australia whittled down the West Indies first innings total of 214 to finish on 94 without loss.

Turner and Redpath, opened the innings in place of Rick McCosker who had to leave the field because of illness, Australia, spearheaded by the left-arm pace of Gary Gilmour, and assisted by the rashness of the West Indies, took less than two sessions to bundle out the tourists for a total which belied the easy pace of the Gabba wicket. Gilmour finished the day with 4-42 as crack speedsters Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson faltered in the face of the flailing West Indies bats. Thomson and Lillee, wreckers of England 12 months ago, took four wickets between them Lillee 3 for 84 and Thomson I for 69 but conceded the bulk of the West Indies runs with 153. Lloyd won the toss for the fifth time straight on tour and chose to bat on a strip which looked and later proved to have plenty of runs there for the taking. The tourists named Bernard Julien 12th man and Max Walker was appointed the 12th for Australia The West Indies innings began disastrously with opener Gordon Greenidge given out leg-before-wicket without scoring after he had faced only three deliveries.

Greenidge had not offered a stroke as Lillee curled the ball in late on to the off-stump and umpire Robin Bailhache did not hesitate to lift his finger. It was a great breakthrough for Australia, but Roy Fredericks and Lawrence Rowe weighed into the attack in a face-saving partnership of 60 in 42 minutes to nut the innings momentarily back on the map. From 1-3 the West Indies reached 63 before the swashbuckling lefthander Fredericks swung rashly at Gilmour and edged a catch into the wating gloves of Rod Marsh. Tt is the West Indies' seemingly devil-may-care approach which makes them such crowd pleascrs around the world and, Hartvigsen wins PGA BRISBANE, Friday. Left-hander Errol Hartvigsen won the $3,000 Queensland PGA championship with a 72-hole total of 284 at Brisbane Golf Club today.

Fast bowlers have striven unsuccessfully to achieve dangerous lift and no spinner has cause, so far, to lick his lips. In fact, the wicket was slow. Spendthrift batting tactics again landed the West Indies in grave peril. Throwing wickets away wilh lhe nonchalance of participants in an annual office match makes one wonder whether our visitors stand lhe remotest chance of winning the rubber. Take Lawrence Rowe, regarded by those who know him well as a world-class batsman, The obviously gifted right-hander never seemed interested enough to buckle down palicntly to get on top of the bowl Ian Chappell, down on Andy Roberts, oil the Indies first ing, although he had an extended innings.

With a team in such trouble as the visitors found themselves, it is pathetic to recall that they were able to tot-up four sixes against our paccmen and still fall like ninepins. One will tire eventually of explaining thai Ihis is their meihod of handling Test cricket and that one day they will tear our attack to ribbons. Not likely. If they found difficulties with our attack on this pitch, pity help them when the pace quickens at Perth next Test. But pace did not worry them.

Far from it. Fredericks, fanning widely at the first ball of the match, started a miraculous attack to By BILL WHITTAKER keeping almost from the first stride when he dashed to the lead with Hondo Grattan caught on the wrong, leg. From there on, it was strictly routine as Paleface Adios stretched out in his own peculiar "daisy cutting" style. He ran the journey in 3m 7.3s, nearly 3s faster than the previous race record set by Just Too Good a year ago. Mount Hobson showed he has the potential to become one of NSW's top hopes in the Intcr-Dominion Championship with an outstanding win in the Blue Hills Handicap.

the of lhe oaiul, go; iiway on a I'm i I toss from l.illce a gift for which most batsmen would have counted their blessings and made ready to set their batting traps. But facing Gary Gilmour, the best of the Australian bowlers, and sparring at a slight dip away, he flung his head back in the approved manner to effect a foozle shot for the tee. As in Adelaide, vice-captain Deryck Murray gave the best baiting display. Sixes came his way loo. but he did try gallantly to pull his team out of a self-inflicted mess.

Lillee tried consistently in an almost hopeless fast bowling situation. He came up fighting each time Greg Chappcll called upon him. But Thomson did not. The young Australian express, who found this wicket so much to his liking last year against Eng land, seemed inclined to give the job away as soon as he realised there were no dividends to be had. His heavy fall on his second delivery of the day may explain his disinterested reactions.

I feel certain the wicket will help spin later on. Terry Jenner got a leg Break and later a wrong-un to turn quickly. At the end of the first day, Attslralia had taken the initiative and had lefl the West Indies hoping mat mcir success with the toss will play an influential part in the closing stages of the match. By Al Copp LAWRENCE ROWE make Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thcmson look second-raters. One amazing six off l.illce was literally shovelled over the line leg fence as he took it on the rise from a good length.

It was the shot one would expect to see once or twice in a lifetime not in an important match like this. Fredericks went close to repeating the shot a minute or two later. Magnificent entertainment undoubtedly from an opening batsman, but Mount Hobson, having only his second run after a six-month spell, breezed away to win, pulling up, by 10 metres. He is ready to take on the faster class horses aficr winning 13 races from only 18 starts since he came to NSW from New Zealand during the 1973-74 season. The big feature of Mount Hobson's win last night was his time over the final 1,600 metres.

Private dockers timed him to sprint the last 1600m in 2m 1.5s the last 800m in lm. This was top class and Mount Hobson did it going five horses wide with a lap to go. Mount Hobson's time was 3m 5.7s, only outside Wilbur Post's class record. HAVE (SUMPTHiN' lor write) 4 Clarke Street, ma ana serviced mrougnoui n.a.w.
