BOWLERS TOO GOOD

WEST INDIES TOUR

VISITORS DEMORALISED

United Press Association— By Electria Telegraph—Copyright. ADELAIDE, 7th December. • The wicket was fast and the weather fino for the continuation of the West In-dies-South Australian match. A feature was the last wicket stand by Wall and Walker. The two internationals showed contempt for the bowling, and took the score from 237 to 330 in 00 minutes. Earlier, Lee and Grimmett punished the bowling, scoring 25 in 1G minutes, Constantine separating -Lee. at 55 in 114 minutes. . • Louergan, who is still suffering on account of an accident, partnered Grimmott, who, when at fifty, stopped one with his pads. His back-wicket play was attractive. The tail-enders batted stylishly. The Indians were alert and accurate in the field, the throwing from long distances being a revelation. Constantine was particularly prominent in this respect. Walker and Wall batted confidently, the latter scoring fifty in eighty minutes. The Indians began their second innings briskly, but Grimmett and Waite were troublesome. The former's first wicket cost two runs, Wall catching Roach brilliantly. Birkett was»out next ball from Grimmett, whose average was two wickets for two runs. Waite's first wicket,_ which was Headley, cost nine runs. Grimmett again worried Grant, catching him for one. Martin and Bartlett had just posted a century when the former went leg-before to Waite, and four runs later Hunte was sent to the pavilion. The Indians were puzzled and waited for Grimmett's slows. With four minutes to go Snnley was caught at silly point by Riehai-flson. Grimmett's average is four wickets for 3S, and Waite three for 32. These bowlers had the visitors demoralised.
