needed with six wickets remaining. Veivers hit two sixes and seven fours in his 54 before being bowled by Pressdee to an enormous roar from the crowd. Lawry battled away for four hours and 40 minutes in making 64 before hitting a Pressdee long hop to Rees at mid-wicket and making his disconsolate way up the 70-odd steps to the pavilion. The last four wickets fell for 25 and when Hawke was caught at the wicket, Glamorgan had won by 36 runs. Shepherd took five for 71 in 52 overs, 29 of which were maidens, and Pressdee finished with four for 65. The scenes were incredible and with the National Eisteddfod just down the road, it seemed that half the population of the Principality was there to join in the fun, the songs and the champagne. Some perspective is required. The pressure was off for the tourists following their success in the Tests, the pitch was treacherous and Shepherd and Pressdee were past masters at exploiting the conditions at Swansea against batsmen unused to its vagaries. Also the Australians lost their next match by nine runs when chasing a target against Warwickshire before going on to draw the final Test. Nevertheless it remained a remarkable achievement for Glamorgan – and one they repeated at Swansea on what would have been the old-style August Bank Holiday in 1968. The earlier victories over South Africa, India and Pakistan had been celebrated – but beating the Aussies was something special. Tourist Trade 177
