DAY AGAIN STARTS WELL
Once again the crowd was in high good humour in the first few minutes on_ Saturday after the hectic period on Friday afternoon. There were no re-
grots in the roar that greeted the scattering of Hammond's stumps in Badcoek's third over, but the. great Gloucestershire man was given a striking ovation on his way to the pavilion (states "Tho Star"). He had gone in when the total was 0 and left at 424 after making over half tho runs. He had resumed with his usual deadly efficiency and leaped out to drive Badcock out of the ground when he was bowled. Singles accounted for 87 of his runs and boundaries for 84, the remaining 56 coming from twos.
The New Zealand fielding was back to a smart standard on Saturday morning and applause greeted team work by Page and Dempster to save a boundary. Page nicked the ball back to Dempster's waiting hands. Both these men were quick and valient performers. "No flies on James," was a young cricketer's colloquial but accurate description of the 'keeper's work after whipping the bails off from two fastish deliveries. The batsmen might be able to take risks in the outfield, but not with James.
Allen showed Christchureh the fastest bowling seen for some time. Hot ones on the leg were nicely played and the gallery was satisfied.
