COLTS IN TROUBLE

29 For Four At Hamilton

(N.Z. Press Association) HAMILTON, January 5. The New Zealand Brabin colts were in a very sorry position at stumps today in its match against Waikato at Hamilton, for their score was only 29 for four in reply to Waikato’s 191. The colts were not at all happy against tile formidable spin combination of A. F. Lissette and W. T. Walmsley, and at the close of play Lissette had the remarkable figures of three for five off six overs, four of which were maidens. Scores:— WAIKATO First Innings N. E.

Cameron, with 17 wickets, is the leading wicket taker in the first three cricket tests between South Africa and New Zealand. Cameron needs five more wickets to eoual the record set by A. R. MacGibbon for the most wickets in a test series by a New Zealand bowler. J. R. Reid and P. G. Z. Harris, who have both scored more than 200 runs, are well ahead in the New Zealand batting aggregates and averages. The South African captain, D. J. McGlew, leads the batting averages and aggregates for both teams. The averages for the first three tests are:—
