Feast and famine
In the course of a summer, cricket can present a thousand faces to those who play and watch. But last Saturday’s results produced as sharp a contrast in individual performances as might be imagined. Tony Doherty and Jim Knowles; opening for St Thomas’s first eleven in a senior 1A Boys’ Association match against Christ’s College second eleven, scored 303 before the innings was declared closed without the loss of a wicket They were; together 205 minutes,' Doherty making 178 not out Knowles 116 not out A few hundred yards away at Hospital Comer, one of the best-known players in the President's grade, G. V. Orange of West-Univerilty, was also playing right through an Innings. He opened against St Albans, and carried his bat in a total of 73. Orange, as enthusiastic a cricketer as there is, and one with a penchant for defence, hit a four, a two, and three singles, making nine not out in 130 minutes.
