Slack points team to first win
NZPA-Reuter London Wilf Slack steered the English county cricket champion, Middlesex, towards its first championship win of the season as it put in a strong all-round performance against Northamptonshire
yesterday. Middlesex, currently bottom of the table, dismissed Northants for 125, for a first innings lead of 91. Slack then hammered an unbeaten 90 out of 148 for one before rain brought a premature end to
the day’s play at Northampton. Northants, resuming at 54 for two, lost Its last seven wickets for only 71 runs in the face of some impressive pace bowling by Wayne Daniel, who finished with four for 76, and Norman Cowans,
three for 35. At Guildford, the opener, Nick Falkner, collected 15 boundaries in his 95 as Surrey moved to 193 for three in reply to Sussex’s first innings total of 294, but rain restricted the day’s play to only 40 overs.
