Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: 5th Test at the Oval - Two Great Centuries. DESCRIPTION: The 5th and final test at the Oval proved an exciting one. Every English bowler was defied when O’Neill made a century, and Burge reached 181, the highest score of the series. So much for this year’s unusually interesting tests with Australia retaining the Ashes.
