Unbeaten 108 for Knott
NZPA-Reuter Jaipur Alan Knott, the ’keeper, became the latest M.C.C. batsman to strike form in India but his bold innings of 108 not out against Central Zone was accompanied by a second draw for the touring side on its Indian tour. Knott scored his runs in 131 minutes with 17 fours and Mike Brearley declared M.C.C.’s second innings at 155 for one, leaving Central Zone 247 to win in 128 minutes plus 20 overs. The team lost its first four wickets for 26 but then Parthasarathy Sharma dug in and they finished on 120 for five. But while the batting flourishes, the England manager, Ken Barrington is concerned about his fast bowlers, who have stumbled into a series of misfortunes. Mike Selvey strained a muscle in his right leg in the first match, Chris Old bruised his right side in a fall on Sunday and Bob Willis, who has a chest infection, has been confined to his bed for most of the last week.
