COLTS’ MATCH AT AUCKLAND
BRABIN CUP SIDE DRAWS WITH N.S.W.
(New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, February 17. Shortage of time and accurate Auckland bowling deprived the North and Northwest New South Wales cricket colts of victory over the Auckland Brabin Cup side at Eden Park today. Requiring 132 runs in 75 minutes to win,New South Wales scored 87 for six wickets. The match was drawn.
After dismissing the last two New South Wales batsmen cheaply in the morning, Auckland scored 265 for nine wickets before declaring at 4.35 p.m. For Auckland, J. Waddingham made 70, and D. Harding 55. The New South Wales batsmen started briskly in their second innings, but steady, accurate bowling by K. Butler and A. Campbell slowed the scoring rate. J. Hayward hit a bright 27 quickly.
