SPINNERS SUCCEED

Wanganui Out For 81 Unable to cope with accurate spin bowling on a turning pitch, Wanganui Collegiate was all out for 81 in its second innings agains’ Christ’s College at Hagley Park yesterday. . • Christ’s College made the 23 runs it required- to win without loss. Wanganui began its second innings -62 runs behind and never recovered from the loss of two early wickets. N Wilder, bowling his left-arm spinners at a brisk pace and achieving quite sharp - turn, exposed the deficiencies of the Wanganui batsmen. Wilder’s six wickets, even taking into account ' some hesitant batting, were well deserved. He was given good support by B. Andrews and A. Blakely.
