Harrassed
The former test cricketer, P. G. Z. Harris, was bowling well for the St Albans President’s grade team against Riccarton on Saturday. In six overs, he had conceded only 17 runs. Things had altered drastically by the end of his next over, however. J. B. Percival, a Riccarton player for several seasons, hit 30 from six .of the eight balls. The first two balls both went for six, but the next was scoreless. Then Percival hit two fours, his third six and another four, before failing to score from the last ball.
St Albans was wellplaced to. force an outright win. Percival’s big hitting put an end to that.
