CLAUDELANDS DO WELL

HARD TASK FOR EAST BATSMEN-TAKE INITIATIVE A s .enough their first innings occupied m >st nf the afternoon, Claudelands did well to score 194 runs against the strong Hamilton East eleven. The wicket was by no means easy, the balls rising sharply and proving most disconcerting to the batsmen. East were left only 25 minutes to bat on Saturday, and ".just as the boll rang for time they had lost their first wicket. With the opening partnership broken Claudelands are in a strong position. Early disaster met Claudelands when their first wicket went down for six runs. Hampton and M. Lyon were then associated in a stand which yielded 54 runs, while Hunt and Hemi joined in a great final partnership which consolidated the position for Claudelands and set a hard task for East. Only six runs were on the board when the Claudelands opening partnership was broken, Cassells being beaten bv an off break from Badeley. 6—l —l. T. Lyon joined Hampton and brought 10 runs up with a four to square leg ng. ihe next delivery, a perfectly straight ball. Lyon tried to force away, and played it on to his wicket. 13—2—7. Hampton in Form With Hampton and M. Lyon together a useful stand was inaugurated. Hampton had commenced aggressively when he opened the innings, but with the wickets falling cheaply lie became more subdued. Ho was at times a picture of confidence, revealing that form which earned him a line batting reputation some seasons ago. The fast attack of Going and the off-break trundling of Badeley failed to trouble him. A Glorious glide lo the lung tine-leg boundary off Badeley gave Hampton double figures and took the side well on the wat to 30. When Bright relieved Badeley he and Goins kept the batsmen quiet with well-pitched balls. Only two runs were added in three overs. Forty was reached when
