WEST HAS CHANCE
Could Come From Back
Progress last Saturday has given a somewhat uneven look to the senior cricket matches which will end tomorrow but in at least one instance the losing team is fully capable of a recovery.
In the senior A section. West Christchurch-University is 68 behind Sydenham’s first innings score with only one wicket standing, but the Sydenham batting has shown such frailty this season that WestUniversity has a chance of coming from behind. Lancaster Park, 83 for 7, does not, however, seem to have much chance of beating Old Boys (207) and may well suffer its fourth successive defeat.
In the Senior B section, where Riccarton leads St. Albans by two points, St. Albans is nearer victory against East ChristchurchShirley than Riccarton is against Old Collegians. Riccarton made 236. Old Collegians 140 for seven; St. Albans 196, East-Shirley 108 and 9 for one wicket. 4 For members of the representative squad, it is an important day—the last playing day before the Plunket Shield match with Otago on Thursday. It would be a comfort if some of the squad members showed convincing batting form.
