Club series still wide open
Bv R. T. BRITTENDEN | Only two outright, wins jhave been recorded in the 12 Itwo-day matches played so far in the senior Christ[church club cricket championship. This unusual situ[ation has. left the com--1 petition wide open: from ■ first to last in the list, there i is a difference of only f 1 [points. If the new system of reiducing points for- outrights jto six and awarding performance points for bowling only has already produced an anomaly or two, it has certainly given the grade a more interesting look than it might othrwise have had. When the fifth round begins 'today, there may be a
I stronger drive fre/m the teams low in the list to get outright results. For some of them it is going to be almost now, or never. Some of the senior sides have been weakened by absences at the Rothmans tournament, but there has been compensation in the return of the Canterbury players who missed the fourth round because of Gillette Cup matches. Lancaster Park, top of the ’able will meet Old Collegians, who hold seventh place. B u r n s i d e-West, three points behind Park, will play Riccarton, only two points further back, at Ham.
