School Five Wickets Down, 90 Runs Behind
The two all-rounders who did most to dismiss Christ’s College for 230 runs yesterday, R. Hadlee and J. Calder, will probably have to bear the brunt of Christchurch Boys’ High School’s attempt to gain a first-innings lead when they resume their unbroken sixth-wicket partnership today.
