Suburban Notes

Holidays’ Bad Effect It was evident from the standard of play on the Domain on Saturday that a holiday from cricket is not the best thing in the world for senior suburban players. None of the players was making any great attempt at the game and consequently the few spectators were obliged to drag through the afternoon of listless cricket. Dickson and Stallworthy showed some form in bowling at times, but for the most part the trundling was lifeless. The fielding, if it could be called such, was shocking. Ponsonby and Glen Eden This game showed promise of developing into a bit of a tussle at the commencement, some three weeks age, but as it progressed it turned out to be almost farcical. The Glen made a poor score in its first innings, and when sent to the wicket to follow on, fared even worse. * * * Players Who Strayed When the Glen went to take its second innings it found it could muster only seven men, the remainder having faded away. It is possible that the “missing” members wended their way toward Eden Park. It is also possible that the heat of the afternoon had proved more enervating that usual!
