Notes
--> Wickets given to bowlers do not agree with batting scorecard for the Cootamundra first innings

---

The wicket had a concrete bottom - very hard. To counteract this, some blankets were first laid over it and the matting was then tightly stretched and pegged down. Even from this, however, the bowling at times was very fiery.
Attendance: Day 1 - about 1,000
