CITY CRICKET

HEAVY SCORING ON THE : BASIN '■ *' CENTURY BY TUCKER Scoring has been fairly heavy In the senior cricket ■ matches played" on the ] Basin Reserve during the last two Saturdays. On tho Saturday before last big scoring was a thing to be expeoted,' as the wiokets favoured the batsmen • considerably. Last Saturday,' however, with the wickets in different condition, the batsmen again punshed bowlers. North, whch has enjoyed a reputation for possessing a good, batting side, put up an excellent performance against Central. Tho latter, with 303 on for their first innings, seemed to have. North very awkwardly Bituated, but in two and a half hours the necessary 304 had been run" off, and a very fine, victory recorded. At one stage the game was rather, exciting; tho "tail" was batting, .and between twenty and thirty runs were still required. However, the "tail" wagged to such good effect that it compiled more than the runs required of it, and the innings dosed with' North in a majority of 38. The match between Old Boys and University produced a good century by K. '"; Tucker. The old hand batted very oare- ••-'"■ c i-llr, particularly, when he realised that thou was a hundred within Teach, arid his rato of scoring was rather blow. It Tis in great contrast to the brilliant oenuiry made by Robinson a week before Tucker* a innings was a most valuable -pne to his side; if. he had! failed victory might not have rested with Old Boys''but, on the contrary, with Uni-versi.*-T. His innings included fivo fours ■ and r ,ie threes, and lie was bowled by •x . Djcki. ,n with the ball following.that,off which he Teached, the;, century; The ' brightest innings of this match was that of Dr. Hale's, whoso' 32 came rapidly— 6, 4, 6, 3, 4, 4, 4, 1.
