80.4 bowled him! Kimber's magnificence falls short! It was back of a length, straight as they come, he swished eagerly into the leg-side, but can only under-edge the ball into his own stumps! Here ends one of the most valiant innings ever witnessed in first-class cricket! 445/9

78.5 lofted straight to mid-off! Oh my, that's a terrible way to go... just a tame chip in the air, neither driving nor defensive, Robinson barely moved to swallow the lobbed chance 435/9
