Most of the Australian batsmen struggled to score runs on an underprepared wicket, which Ceylon's wily pacers made good use of. Bill Ponsford top-scored with 31 off 71 balls on Olympic debut.

Ceylon's batsmen countered Australia's pace threats quite well, but were completely undone by the spin quartet featuring Clarrie Grimmett, Arthur Mailey, Charles Macartney and Herbie Collins. The Australians tasted victory, but were made to work a lot harder for it than they might have expected.

Australia won by 73 runs

[Markkkkk]

No I missed it! Can I get a notification when this current season ends? Assuming you continue it...

 

[CerealKiller]

I got really scared when I saw our total, but our bowlers saved the day. Let's continue like this, with better batting displays, though.

The inexperienced Rhodesians fought neck to neck with New Zealand's seasoned first-class level players and came within touching distance of victory, despite having been reduced to 74/7 at one stage. New Zealand finally brought up their first victory in the Olympics 24 years after their first appearance.

No I missed it! Can I get a notification when this current season ends? Assuming you continue it...

Will do. There are a couple of teams coming in for 1928 and 1932 that you might find interesting.

Great Britain lost both their openers cheaply, but thoroughly dominated the remainder of their innings. Patsy Hendren and Frank Woolley put up an unbeaten 174-run partnership for the 4th wicket, coming off only 159 balls. Hendren went on to score his first century at the Olympics, and Great Britain's first since 1900.

Things didn't get better for Chile with the bat. They seemed competent against the pace of Gilligan and Tate, but were left clueless by Tich Freeman's sharply turning legbreaks. Great Britain won by a huge 153-run margin.

The threat posed by Herbert Wookey was neutralized by Harry Kortlang, who went on to become the oldest centurion in Olympic history at the age of 44. The US skipper Christy Morris also chipped in with a half-century. The United States brought up their first Olympic victory since 1912, and avenged their quarter-final defeat of 1920 by knocking out their North American rivals from the 1924 Games.
