DEADLY BOWLING

West Indies Demoralised SOUTH AUSTRALIAN MATCH (Rec. December 7, 8 p.m.). Adelaide December 7. The wicket was fast and the weather fine for the continuation of the West Indies-South Australian match. A feature was the last wicket stand by Wall and Walker. The two internationals showed contempt for the bowling and took the score from 237 to 330 in 66 minutes. Earlier, Lee itiid Grimmett. punished the bowling, scoring 25 in 16 minutes. Constantine separating Lee at 55 in 114 minutes, Lonergan, who is still suffering on account of an accident, partnered Grimmett, who, when at fifty, stopped one with his pads. His back-wicket play was attractive. The tail-enders batted stylishly. The Indians were alert and accurate in the field, the throwing from long distances being a revelation. Constantine was particularly prominent in this respect. Walker and Wall batted confidently, the latter scoring fifty in eighty minutes. The Indians began their second innings briskly, but Grimmett and Waite were troublesome. The former’s first wicket cost two runs, Wall catching Roach brilliantly. Birkett was out next ball from Grimmett, whose average was two wickets for two runs. Waite’s first wicket, which was Headley, cost nine runs. Grimmett again worried Grant, catching himfor one. Martin and Bartlett had just posted a century when the former went leg-before to Waite, ana four runs later Hunte was sent to the pavilion. The Indians were puzzled and waited for Grimmett’s slows. With four minutes to go Sealey was caught at silly point by Richardson. Grimmett’s average is four wickets for 38 and Waite three for 32. These bowlers had the visitors demoralised.
