End of MCC Sydney season shows weakness in New South Wales fielding
The MCC tour concluded with New South Wales, as Sydney observers noted waning strength in Australia’s fielding and a need to develop medium paced bowlers and sharper slip play. Chapman impressed for England with 91, while Scott, Hendry, and Gibson led a strong NSW bowling effort. The match drew big crowds and rich gate receipts as MCC faced a tough Australian bat and field setup.
