Spectacular Bowling

Ponsonby All Out for 21 HARBOUR BOARD BEATS ELLERSLIE EbOWL Elis' wickets cut the Domain yesterday produced > some astonishing upsets and spectacular performances in the one-day matches which opened the second round of the Suburban Cricket Association's competitions. Most surprising was the competition leader's. Ellerslie. first innings batting debacle against Harbour Board, who scored a three point win just on time. BOWLERS’ DAY OUT ALBION DRAWS WITH W.Y.MI

PONSONBY’S DEBACLE

Batting first on an unfavourable wicket Green Lane faced a difficult ( task "with equanimity, but its confidence was shaken by the dismissal of first man first ball. Clark and Kerr settled down together, the for- ; mer playing brightly with stylish ■ strokes, and carried the score to 41. The veteran Kerr, who was in form, ; sent away some well judged carpet drives. E. Watts and Wroatli continued scoring fairly rapidly. A change of bowlers, to Barnes, I altered Green Lane’s outlook and the last six wickets fell for 15 runs. Ponsonby went in to bat confidently but the batsmen were rudely shocked by the unerring accuracy of the deliveries of Scarborough and Kerr. The pair completely swept the board. Scarborough, sending down shooting short—pitened stuff with an occasional good length ball, at a terrific pace, and Kerr breaking right across the wicket, had the batsmen completely baffled. Three-quarters of an hour and about five overs each settled all arguments. Ponsonby avoided a compulsory follow-on because it had scored two more than the required number. Green Lane did not improve much on its first showing on its second appearance at the crease, E. Watts 35 and Scarborough 14 providing the brightest displays. Requiring 195 to win, Ponsonbv made no effort to get the runs in the second innings, being content to play out time to avoid giving its opponents a three-point win. At slumps Ponsonby lost eight for 73. Green Lane gained a two-point win by 75 runs on the first innings. GREEN LANE First Innings.

CORNE)' IN FORM

ELLERSL.iI i GOES DOWN

Albion drew wiht W.T.MJ. in a oneday match at the Domain yesterday Taking first strike, Albion knocked up 234. Gedye gave a pleasing display of cricket, his 56 being the best of the innings. The next highest scoiyp was Mr. Extras, who netted 43 ;; OP the young team. This weakness i a the Institute’s fielding cost them y«tv dearly—one might almost say it cost them the game. Corney’s lour for 74 was the b*3st bow Ling ave rage for \b s young men. When W.Y.3U. opened its first inningi, Young went early to E. Stallworthy, who was in great form, bowling a well-pitched ball that was worrying the batsmen. H. Chip, man held his wicket up until he reached 38. when he lifted Stall-worth) to Longviile. Corney’s was really the best exhibition in a mediocre innings, he carrying his bat to be undeleate<i at 61. D. Chapman was unlucKy in not being able to see out time. Ju*t before 6.30 he hit a magnificent six, and then fell next ball to E. Stallworthy oft Gedye. The Institute innings was unfinished at 6.30, when it had five down for 175, and the gaai* was declared a draw. Details: ALBION. Fii's - : Innings.

HARBOUR BOARDS WIN Harbour Board secured .1 threepoint win over Ellerslie in a one-day match at the Domain yesterday. The board won by an innings and 55 runs. Ellerslies opening men were unpleasantly surprised when Y'ates wi is caught by the bowler without opening his account. R. Burton went for 12, which included one six, and the next three wickets fell for five runs. Aft-2r the opening debacle it was no t urpris* when the inn:ings closed for 60. Bowling for the Board, Martin put up th«» great average of six for 35, whil* Mann took three for 23, and Dunning one for 0. Harbour Board did not look !ik« doing much better when C. YViilianci-5 fell to R. Bu.'ton for 0. However. Turner and Badeley pulled the gate.a out of the lire in a magnificent partnership, which was only broken when Turner was stumped by Yates otf Burton, at 72. Badeley was then nrbeaten with 70 on the book. He dismissed by Hollis shortly afterward for 74. The innings closed for a tonJ of 223, R. Burton being the best bowk:: for Ellerslie, with five- for 78. Ellerslie’s second strike, which netted 108, was chiefly remarkable for the struggle against time on the part the batsmen, to avert a three-point defeat. The ioest score was put up by N. Watkins (25). E. Watkins and Y’ates, with 22 each, did well, while the remainder of the team proved a very' weak tail. Martin secured t’as -best bowling average with six for 48. In the final stages, the game developed into an exhibition of stonewalling in an attempt to plaj’ out time. The batsmen were intent, .not on getting runs, but on holding th?ir wickets up until 5.30.
