Cash Prizes For Bright Cricket
(NX.P. A.-Reuter— Copyright) SALISBURY, Oct. 21. Cash awards made available by a tobacco company will give added incentive for brighter cricket in the three matches in Rhodesia for the New Zealand touring team. The batsman who hits the fastest century in the two first-class matches stands to win £9), and the highest scoring rate achieved by either side will be worth £5O. Any century-maker will win £4O, and so will a bowler who takes five or more wickets in an innings. Leaser amounts will be awarded for the fastest 50, and for fielding. Smaller prizes on a similar scale can be won in the two-day match against the Rhodesian Federation side.
