Wellington batted first and made 162 (Robinson 27, Neal 34, Du Chateau 12, Bilby 26 not out, Morris 24 and Griffiths 11). Auckland’s first ( innings was more or less of a procession, good bowling by Bilby aud Griffiths being backed by excejlent fielding and splendid work in the air, several of the catches being snapped very close in. Griffiths, who is regarded as a coming slow bowler for Wellington big cricket, worried all the batsmen with his open bowling. Although Bilby finished with identical figures, Auckland’s first innings produced 48 (Griffiths five for 23. Bilby five for 23). Auckland’s second innings total was 59 (Griffiths four for 34, Bilby six for 29). DRAWN GAME AT NELSON. Dominion Special Service. Nelson, December 30.
