OLD BOYS AND HUTT

There are good grounds for classing the Hutt-Wellington College Old, Boys' match on No. 1 wicket at the Basin Reserve as Parsloe's match. Having played the leading part in the dismissal of Hutt for 196 on the previous Saturday, Parsloe also figured aa the principal run-getter, and ■ his combined efforte were mainly responsible for a win for Old Boys on the first innings.- There was also another contrijbuting factor, of some importance to this success, and this Was Hutt's poor form in ; the field, as well ac a slice of really bad '-luck when Parsloe, not ; . having 'scored, ■ tipped the last ball of the first day's play ' and was caught, only to be given not out. ;' That, however, isl the 7luck of the game, "and it turneii.the tide heavily against Hutt, for,on Saturday Parsloe went on.to make 81. At the start of the day's play Old Boys were by no means secure, their score being 95 for five wickets, as against Hutt's 196. James had made a few runs on the previous Saturday, and he and Pai*sloe'tackled the task of improving the position in .tradesmanlike manner. Their partnership was so firm as to cause no I little concern to Hutt in the efforts to . have it broken. One chance was lost when • Parsloe was missed in the slip**, but there 'was nothing much offering after that until James presented a'catch to the bowler .', (Judd). James, a good fighting batsman, .played;an extremely valuable innings for ~ his . side, and his contribution was ■worth much more than the 45 ' runs which came from - his bat. :His jfcoring strokes were well varied, and half a dozen of thehi brought in 4's. At • his dismissal Old Boys still needed.33 runs • to avert defeat. It was not a big" order, but when another wicket fell at 174 the -issue became more ,open. Hutt's hopes, .however, were dashed when chances by . Paraloe were missed off two successive balls from McLeod. , In appreciation ■Parsloe cracked the,leather hard for several 4's and a 6, and made the match . safe for Old Boye, whose tail then wagged to good effect. Parsloe was dismissed .-.when he had made 81, this match-win- _ ning contribution including eight 4's and • a 6. Browne and Duncan scored freely ai last-wicket partners, and advanced the account by 46 runs in fifteen , minutes. Duncan (25 not out) hit a 6 and two 4's, and Browne's 35 included three 4's. Judd's .consistency aa'a wicket gatherer was maintained by his taking of six wickets. Hutt's second innings progressed none too ■.well, but finally McLeod plugged an end up and settled any prospect of Old Boys gaining an eight-pointer. Hamilton scored a meritorious ,50 (in which were one 5 and three 4's) in just under an hour. Of the eight Hutt wickete which fell in this innings four went to Parsloe's bag, and Duncan took three.
