CRICKET Vigorous Century Made For Sydenham By D. L. Gallop

Last summer the Sydenham ail-rounder, D. L. Gallop, gave one of the most spectacular displays of the season when he hit FL CL Motz, of Riecarton and New Zealand, all over Sydenham Park in an innings of 71. On Saturday Gallop again hit Riecarton hip and thigh in a truly brilliant innings of 156, which was mainly responsible for Sydenham effecting an astonishing recovery.

In this, his first senior century, Gallop produced a flow of strong forthright strokes. When he eame in. Sydenham had lost four wickets for 47; but the total reached 302 before the last wicket fell. In the other three senior matches, the scoring was moderate in total and measured in pace. The top team, Old Boys, were well placed against West Christchurch-University, but the second team, Old Collegians, ended the day well behind St. Albans.

X Ruston was the only batsman, other than Gallop, to pass 50, but three bowlers stood out, each with five wickets They were A. R. Tayka-, J. Kiddey, and M. B. Poore. At Elmwood Park, Poore’s five wickets cost a trifling 10 runs. Scores:— Sydenham 302; Riecarton 97 for five wickets. East Christchurch-Shirley 1(3: Lancaster Park 87 for few wickets. Old Beys 226; West Christchurch - University 7* for five wickets. Old Collegians 99: St Albans 184. At Bagley Park, bowlers found the strong north-west wind a handicap, but the probes were fast and true, and the batting, in general, was poor OLD BOYS V.

Several of the later batsmen made significant Uttle reores. and Lancaster Park then gii£ sendee by dismissing him not long before the end of the dap. Smart gave a vtendid display

Salt won the toss 'or the third successive time, ne gave Sydenham first use of a particularly good batting pitch, but the early batsmen were In difficulties against-very keen bowling and fielding. I. R. Hartland was beautifully licked up by G. Barrett at leg dip and K. Thomson batting better than In his previous innings, slipped and ten when tryng to regain his ground after some bad calling. At 47 for lour, Riecarton was firmly ° n top. P. Truscott, the side's best batsman in the earlier games, helped Gallop add 40 for the fifth wicket, and then the captain B. Salt, held firm while Gallop took charge. Although the Riecarton fielding was very good, with M. J. Bear outstanding. Gallop imposed his wtll on the bowlers almost from the start. He gave a couple of hard chances during his magnificent attacking innings. but it was a wonderful display. Gallop has plenty of good shots, confident footwork, and a quick eye for a gap. He drove strongly and safely, and scored behind the Wicket almost as handsomely. But he was at his most masterful when the ball was dropped a shade short. From on and outside the off-stump, he was able to find holes In the on-side field with thumping ondrives and pulls. His twelfth boundarv took him to his hundred in 144 minutes, and in all he batted three hours and a quarter of his 156. with 16 fours and three sixes. Salt batted courageously while 73 runs were added for the sixth wicket in S 5 minutes, and then F. Clark, who also hit two huge sixes, helped Gallop score 91 in 56 minutes. For a while Riecarton was utterly demoralised. the score racing from 20C to 250 in 20 minutes. C. R. Nicholson also helped In the recovery Kiddev was the one bowler not hammered unmercifully by Gallop. But it was surprising he did not give J. Logie or I. Sinclair an over or two: they could hardly have been more expensive than the others, and might have demanded a brief pause for assessment. Sydenham went much further towards winning the game with the capture of five cheap wickets. Nicholson bowled spiritedly and well but Bear played an attractive and Invaluable innings. Barrett was solid, and it was surprising to see him dismissed near the end of the day. for he looked quite at home. The umpires are Messrs IL V. Taylor and J. Owens.

achieved figures among the beet of Ms career. Bowling with a following, blustery nor’-wester that was at its strongest in the morning, he exercised great control from Ms flighted deliveries. He kept the baU weU up throughout and was treated with the utmost respect. Two of his most valuable wickets, those of J. E. England and A R. MacGlbbon, came as the result of brilliant diving catches by A W. Parris. In the slips. A R. Taylor found some difficulty with the gusty conditions, but he, too. bowled well In short spells. Except for some attractive shots from P. T. Harman and a toilsome 28 in 109 minutes by A T. Bishop. Old Collegians’ batting was staid. Sixty runs In 41 minutes from the St. Albans* openers. Parris and J. M. Ruston, was refreshing. From the outset both blossomed out with lusty hitting. Mac Gibbon had 32 taken from his first four overs and Parrts. after giving a hard chance at 18. was caught splendidly by B. J. Crichton at square leg. Ruston object lesson. At tea St. Albans was 111 for three, having already passed Old Collegians’ total, but after tea the side slumped to be all out for 184. The scoring rate fell appreciably towards the end. O. Dryland taking 49 minutes to score two runs Promoted from the second ?rade, B. Curtis captured four wickets with his swift leftarmers. The umpires are Messrs J Streeter and R. Conway.
