UNOFFICIAL TEST DRAWN
COMMONWEALTH CRICKET TEAM (N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) NEW DELHI, December 21. After a keen struggle between batsmen and bowlers for the first four days, the fifth and final day of th? second unofficial cricket test between India and the» Commonwealth touring team at New Delhi was an anticlimax. The Indians, fighting with their backs to the wall in the second innings, were able to force a draw. Adhikari and Umrigar, in a fifth-wicket partnership of 109, stayed together for most of the period before lunch on the final day, and made a draw inevitable. . . , When India declared at 430 for eight wickets, the Commonwealth team was left 110 minutes in which to make 272 runs, but the tourists were content to play out time.
