THREE CENTURIES

Senior Club Cricket

WELLINGTON PASSES 500 FOR SIX

D. S. Wilson Bowls Well

Some inconsistent batting was seen on Saturday afternoon, when the seventh series of matches in the Wellington Cricket Association’s senior championship competition was commenced in perfect weather. The Wellington team led the way by piling up 506 for six wickets against University at the Basin Reserve. A. G. Wiren and F. B. Kerr put on 101 for the first wicket; Wiren and R. T. Morgan 179 for the second; and Wiren and Airey 78 for the third. Wiren and Morgan both scored centuries, and brilliant displays were given by Airey, Ell and Kuhn. In direct contrast to the free scoring by the "Wellington batsmen,' Institute collapsed for 135 against Kilbirnie on the Kilbirnie Recreation Ground. M. Bilby and J. Scott, who both passed the half-century, were the only batsmen to stand up to the fast deliveries of D. S. Wilson, who took six wickets for 29 runs off 10.6 overs. Kilbirnie replied with 199 for five wickets, Wilson following up his bowling success by scoring 53 not out. H. Lubransky, O. L. Wrigley, S. "Ward, and H. F. Rice also made useful contributions. Hutt lost five wickets for 72 against Midland on the Hutt Recreation Ground, but once again the tail wagged strongly, and the total reached 238, Muir and Fowler putting on 70 runs for the last wickets. R. O’Neill bowled well for'Midland in capturing five wickets for 82 runs. Good bowling by Champness and Buchan had five Midland wickets down for 6S runs at stumps. Karori did well to run up 320 against Wellington College Old Boys at Karori Park. K. Burnett led the way with a century, and R. W. Coupland and S. Cutts scored freely. G. L. Whyte used his slow leg-breaks to effect for Old Boys in capturing seven wickets for 105. Old Boys had 38 runs on for the loss of one wicket at stumps. Wellington’s Tall Score Wellington occupied the wickets all the afternoon at the Basin Reserve and piled up the solid total of 506 for six wickets. F. B. Kerr and A. G, "Wiren put on 101 for the first wicket in 98 minutes. Here Kerr, who had reached 70, was caught behind the wickets by Smith off Ongley, who was the eighth bowler tried. Morgan and Wiren added 179 for the second wicket. Morgan readied his century in 71 minutes and ran to 119 in 79 minutes. He hit two sixes and 13 fours. After having been at the wickets for 211 minutes for 115 "Wiren, who scored 10 fours, was stumped by Smith off Wilson. The following batsmen took heavy toll of the tired bowlers. Airey scored 79 in 40 minutes, hitting three sixes and eight fours, and Ell ran to 66 in 59 minutes and was unbeaten when stumps were drawn. He hit two sixes and eight fours.

Good Bowling By D. S. Wilson A fifth-wicket stand by J. Scott aud JI. Bilby for 100 in an innings which produced 135 for Institute in their match against Kilbirnie was the feature ,of the match at the Kilbirnie Recreation Ground. When stumps' were drawn Kilbirnie had made 199 at the cost of five wickets. Four Institute wickets were down for nine runs when Scott and Bilby got together. Scott when in the twenties skied the ball between two fieldsmen, neither of whom accepted the chance, but Bilby gave no chances till he was bowled by Rice at 64. Scott was caught by Wilson off Parkin’s bowling at 51. The pair gave, a smart display, bringing 50 up in 68 minutes and the 100 in 102 minutes. The remaining Institute batsmen, who were one man short, made only 33. It was Wilspn who chiefly caused the procession of Institute batsmen to the pavilion- In his first three overs he took four wickets for five runs, and altogether he took six wickets for 29 runs off 10.6 overs.

Kilbirnie put themselves in a comfortable position before play ceased for the day. After being at the wickets an hour and a half they had passed Institute's total and had lost only four men. Wilson distinguished himself with the bat as well as with the ball, for when stumps were drawn he was left unbeaten with 53 to his credit. His total included nine fours and he had made 50 runs in 46 minutes, but at seven Tie had given a chance to Scott and at 50 he was given another life. Details: — INSTITUTE.—First Innings. G.

Five Hutt wickets were down for 72. and in one over (’hampness sent three of Midland s bes?t men back to the pavilion. It was well for Hutt that their tail wagged vigorously. Not one of the last live men made less than 20. and the innings wound up with a lastwicket partnership of 70 runs. O’Neill, with live wickets al a lit He over 16 runs apiece, bowled consistently for Midland, and (’hampness and Buchan for Unit had their opponents tbinkiim hard. 'Die ground was very firm and no amount, of palling by the batsm°n could smooth out the worn patches which the bowlers had ranged to a nicety. Details:— Ml TT. First Innings. Kemp. b.
