CRICKET

MATCHES ON THE BASIN RESERVE ! BARCLAY'S FINE BOWLING wore played on the Basin jßesorvo yesterday. The wickets wore in , -good order; and a small nurubor of spectutors watched'.the, games,i ' r In the,-match between Colfe and Veter>; ' ans, W.' A.; Baker, arid ; Ilughcs-opened. , ..for the. Colts, Scoring was' very -slow, but when rhis v score stood at 16 .Hughes .*was caught" and-'.bowled by' Hutehings.':28—1—16. 'Scliraeder was next man, and - he-had very hard luck, a ball from .Middleton hitting the top of his hat and i striking his wickets. M'Girr. .joined. .■ ■ Baker, but th,e ' scoring, was still slow. u The partnership did not last long enough vto provide a good' exhibition" "of "criclce'tT' , being caught by Middleton, off I Hutehings, when he had contributed 17 ; Vto ibe total. 54—3—17. G. Baker join,ed his brother at the wickets, and tlio , 6core began to mount. The 'board showed 101 before W. A. Baker was- caught >.by Bray -off iiyan. 101—1—12.,' Both' . .'Barclaj; and 'Lambert failed to'add appreciatively to the score, and Eobinson joined Baker. Within , a few. minutes, however, Baker,, with 29 to his credit, fell a victim to Hyan. 115—7—29. Bob- ' .lnson and Knowles-Smith now gave a "short but protty display of cricket,-and' ..the score • mounted'-'rapidly. IvnowlesSmith, however, Was: caught by Moore , off Bray when the ' score stood at 185. His 27 inoluded only'two'singles. Dun r ; • can and Brain both failed,, and the in- '. nings closed for 186. .. 'Warne.and ,Dind''ppei)ed.'',.for the .Vet-, trans, but Barclay- .broke.; the partnership when 23 showed-on'tlie' board, Dind " falling a victim' to a good length ball. - M'Kellar failed to add to the scoro, and Hu tellings went; out l.b.w. to n bull from Barclay when'the score-was 33—3—3. .'Warne was caught •by M'Girr off Barclay, having mado-10. .'Barclay was evidently in form,,and his ■ bowling was excellent. Middleton succeeded in only making 9,. and Condliffo i only survived long enough to reach the same figure, Bray was ablo to add 8, ''"and the score stood at 57—G—8. Byan, Moore, Watson, and Morrison all fail- ' ed to score, and the innings closcd for The Veterans followed , on,, and evidently with.'-the >iiitcnt,ion of . breaking 'the bowling they'sent the stonewalleru CondlifFe and Dind in. The game 'became very uninteresting from the point of view of the' ; spectators, the fbeing painfull/- slow. The playors al vreached double figures but MKellnr and " ' Morrison. Dind (28) and Bray (2i) were . the' top scorers. The innings realised . ..J «,«.

. It was now n quarter to sjx. and tho ' Colts needed 69 to win. M«'Girr, and -Rob- . inson opened amid much excitement, ' but Robinson wag caught by Middleton, , ' 0 (f Warne, when the score stood at 7 i Lambert and M'Girr i were hitting out ..-and'scoring freely. .Sixty,showed on tliE • board'when the second wicket fell, Lambert' being. caught at-27;' Warne . was bowling, i\nd ho ran tip and made ; ns if to bowl, then fumed round and '- stunfbed the batsman fat his end. How■pver it was not oujy nnd I the-.-innings closed for 73, M'Girr ; carrying his., bat f °The'fielding'was-not good,, and the i Colts failed .to pick .up cleanly,. and their ; ' covering of throw-ins was very poor; N Bnlrelav Iwwled exceptionally well in ' the first innings. Tho stonewallers broke ■';his length in the second innings,but ho - took-two foi 42. as . compared with, nino ■' for 1 i in tho first. . In tho representative match between .' Junior A and Junior B, the latter bat- : ted 'first, and'they-'nmde-it" very "poor- . showing., The innings only.rea isod SO. scoring'being slow, only Guise (32) and ' Kerr (1?) showing nnv form. Junior A opened disastrously. De Mutli and 11. - Murphy,both.failing to score. The, sur- \ prise of the day was undoubtedly the _s. rerp poor- showing, of the. three. Mur- ' phys, C. Murphy being tho onlv one to score. King played a goo<l innings for 60, and Hopkins made a very good - 87. Hutchipgs - -(23) and Windlm-.- 20), :were. the only others to roach double figures, - the total, however, being 229. The sec- • -- end innings of Junior B was veiy-'.ymn.r • teresting, but the scoro < reached i m .. ThirtoU (39)' and Edmond (21, not-' out were the "best scorers.
