West Indies half-centuries
NZPA-Reuter Pakistan West Indies, boosted by half-centuries by the spinners, Roger Harper and Clyde Butts, and a telling new- ball spell by Tony Gray, surged towards an innings victory in their , opening cricket tour match at Quelta, Pakistan. Harper, the top-scorer with 77, and Clyde Butts, who hit an unbeaten 57, helped lift
West Indies’ first innings total to 329 all out — 198 ahead of the Baluchistan Governor’s XI — on the second day of the three-day match. The off-spinner, Harper, then snapped up two wickets to press home the 'touring team’s advantage after an inspired burst by Gray reduced the local side to 18 for four. They were 89 for seven at the close, still 109 behind.
