Wairarapa cricket on<"e more de—lon- ' straied that they had only claims to beinr , .-la-sed about third-class players. To be beaten by -a team such as the visitors had. a team containing nothing brii.iani. by an , innings and *__0 ruus proves that Wairarapa cricket 1* at a very low ebb. Their efforl of 67 In the lies; innings was bad : enough, to say the lea?:, but the amount they made in the second innings, to play | even the s;mple stuff Kelly and Trott were c.._lpa.ss;cnaieiy treating them to. was ! ludicrous, and "they only reached 41. 12 ~f j which were extras. Trou got five wickets I for ID. and Kelly ihrev for 4. The whole display was n painful effort on Wairarapa s I part. 'Their b»wllng was poor, their batting ! wretched, and their fielding deplorab.e South Melbourne's innings realised 368. of 'which Kvle scored 111 not out by splendid creket- "lie was forceful, drove well, and was scoring on the off and leg sides. His score included ten fours. Summed up, ta<\:sitors> have got a serviceable team, with no great star batsman or bowler. They 1 would make plenty of runs against the average New Zrnkind team, but it is questionable whether they would be equal to. ' say. Auckland or New Zealand. There are ' some attractive forceful batsmen in th" 1 team notnblv Sykes, Scott, and Deas. There is plenty of "variety In the bowling. Giller lis a fine bowler, keeping a good length. ' | mixing the balls well, and being very de--1 ceptlve in his delivery. He bowls with his ', head all the time. Kyle is fast, and keeps a good len-Th but there is too much of : sameness about the balls. Kenny is a good i break bowler. The scores arc as follows: — i SOUTH MELBOURNE".—First innings. | Kel'.y. b McAlpine 4.*! ! Kvle. not out 11l ' Pentland. b Hickson 26 1 Extras _ ] Total :J6S !
