PARSLOE'S EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE

LAMAS9N, ;M CLEAN, AND OTHEEB ALSO

DO WELL

Without making any brilliant array, the senior championship averages for Wellington cricket during the season just closed reveal many performances of merit. Generally, the bowling is shown up in better light than the batting, but all round there has been a very satisfactory return, considering the conditions which the players had to contend with during a season offering but little of real cricketing weather when it was most wanted. Disregarding those batsmen who had only a few innings, and those bowlers who did not take many wickets, a formidable list of main performers is presented. J. R. Lamason tops the batting average and is second in the aggregate. Next in average are Stevens and Blandford, and then comes°Parsloe, whose performance has been outstanding. Not only has Parsloe scored most runs, but he has also gained third place in the bowling averages. His all-round performance, together with his showing in the representative matches, would make it appear that Parsloe was one of the very unlucky players so far as the trip to England was concerned. At the head of the bowling averages is A. McLean, whose figures arc exceptionally good, and next to him is the Kilbirnie slow bowler, Allen, who, with Parsloe and Wilson (in the next two places), had much to do with Kilbirnie's success in the senior championship. McLean took most wickets, and next in aggregate is Blundell, who is consistently near the top season after season.

Among others werei—Lans (I.), 11.25 (four wickets); Ratfe (U.), 18.33 (six .wickets), Capstlck (H.), 20.7:! (11 wickets) ; Bice. (Kll.l, 21.16 (sir wickets) : Ell (W.). 22.T2 11 wickets); Duncan (O.B.), 26.50 (1(1 wickets), and Morgan (W.), 28.40 (10 wickets).

The figures for those batsmen who have had at least five innings for averages of over 25 and for bowlers ■who have taken more than .eleven wickets are:— BATTING. Inn. X.O. H.S. Buns. Avge. J.
