General notes:
Photographer notations on slide: Gregory hits for four for Vict in match v Eng at MCG Nov 1936 B114.A close call for ROSS GREGORY: an edge falls agonisingly close to Maurice Leyland, MCC’s most reliable fieldsman..Towards the end of the second day’s play, and after being at the crease nearly all day, ROSS GREGORY had a lapse in concentration, edging the ball towards the second slip, but it fortuitously fell short. He returned to the Pavilion, 108 not out, having played a big role in putting Victoria in the box seat for first innings win..Notice that the MCC had abandoned the slip-heavy field placements of earlier in the day, and were relying more on containment, hoping Victoria would play more errant shots in front of the wicket.
