and 148 for the third wicket with Greg Chappell (57). The tailenders Ashley Mallett, Ken McCarthy and Terry Jenner each scored 28 and the England bowlers suffered, Ray Illingworth's 2/117 being the best analysis. John Snow, who took 2/166, was no-balled 15 times by umpire Ron Joseph. Starting their second innings 198 runs behind the MCC lost three wickets for 51, but Basil d'Oliveira (103 not out) and Keith Fletcher (80) saved the match by adding 183 for the fourth wicket, finishing on 235/4. Victoria Country vs MCC The MCC won another upcountry game with Peter Lever taking 4/30 to dismiss the home side for 152, but the runs were harder to come by. John Edrich (57) and Brian Luckhurst added 68 for the first wicket, but Colin Cowdrey was out for a duck. John Hampshire (61) saw them past the winning post and again the MCC continued their batting practice, Bob Taylor (25 not out) and Keith Fletcher (21 not out) carrying on after Hampshire's dismissal. Victoria vs MCC The tourists came down with a bump when they met another first class team, in what was billed as a Mini-Test. Bill Lawry won the toss, put the MCC in to bat and must have been satisfied to see them out for 142 on the first day. The Test hopeful Alan Thomson took 6/80 and only John Edrich (44) offered any resistance. Lawry was bowled for a duck by John Snow, but Ian Redpath (68) and Paul Sheahan (71) added 89 for the third wicket before Sheadon ran out his partner and then himself. All the other batsmen got into double figures and Victoria declared for 304/8 at the end of the second day. Geoff Boycott and Brian Luckhurst both made 40 as they put on 79 for the first wicket, and Edrich 42. Colin Cowdrey made a slow 101 (he was likened to a beached whale), his only century of the tour. They reached 327/5, but the Victorian all-rounder Alan Sieler took his best first class haul of 4/18 with his slow left arm bowling and the MCC collapsed to 341 all out. Needing 180 to win Victoria had an easy time of it as Lawry (38) and Redpath (57) added 77 for the first wicket before Ray Illingworth had them both out. Alan Ward took 2/25 and Victoria lost two late wickets, but Paul Sheahan's 57 not out
