| SOUTH AFRICANS IN I ENGLAND i | WORCESTER GOES CHEAP ' VISITORS' GOOD SHOWING I j i.U.MTtL. i'l'.K.W ASSOCIATION—isi EI.ZCIILIC TiLSfiSAM) COPVIIIQMTJ ! LONDON, May 2. ! The South African cricketers opened ! their tour well to-tiay, dismissing Worj cester in their first match against a I iirst-class team, for 00, and scoring ! 351. Crisp bowled exceptionally well, •taking six for 34, and Bell completed ' the damage with three for six. Dali ton was top-scorer with ill, and I Nourse, who scored 74, played an at- , tractive innings. ! The outUctci was soft, but the wicket, | which had been covered, was surprisI mgiy last and tricKy lor the livst hour. I crisp and iieii bowieci very well, tne I laiix-r's m-swingers being destructive. I Later Crisp, who is a fast bowier, I hau a lively speu, vvitn damaging olt'breaits. In his last two overs he took nve wickets lor none. Walters alone Jooßed at ease. The Worcester batting was most feeble, and rather flattered the visitors. I Perks was fast from the pitch, clean j bowling two South African stars be- ! fore lunch, after which the opposition I was stouter. Nourse produced perfect I cover-drives. Worcester was all out in less than two hours. Bright batting in the opening stages ended when Bell bowled Gibbons. Fifteen runs later Walters played on. Martin was out first ball, bat Howorth saved the hat trick, although he was narrowly missed in the slips. Crisp quickly took six wickets, including Human and Marne in one over, and Parks. Buller, and Jackson in the next without a run. Crisp's figures were nine overs, two maidens, 34 runs, six wickets'. The South Africans started poorly, Wade was out fifth ball, and Siedle went lbw through Lyttelton's trap. The new lbw rule was not involved. Rowan and Nourse were associated iri a fine partnership, which, although unspectacular, revealed complete confidence on the part, of the batsmen in their first English match. They attcniDted all possibilities. Nourse. who was dismissed lbw, was tranped in atteniDting to hit a straight ball to square-leg. He hit one six and six fours. Cameron sparkled, reminiscent of Gilbert Jessop. He hit three successive sixes, and reached 50 in 45 minutes. Dalton gave a good display, chiefly in drives. He hit 11 fours.
