REYLING'S LATEST

Several instances Of all ten wickets in."an innings being taken, by one bowler have been recorded of late. The latest is that of L. Eeyling, a presentday .lower grade player of whom special mention has .been made in these < columns previously this season. .Eeyling now."enjoys his cricket down in the junior Bl grade, and he is having quite an interesting time. Already he has made two double centuries;for tho:Midland team, and now he has gained further distinction in taking all ten wickets in an mmi]gs nt the small cost of 31 runs* -'this* feat being accomplished against Pe.tone last Saturday. When in'the senior/grade Reyling did not reeen c the'recognition he deseived as a bowler, and,..as has been suggested pieviously, senior ciiekot would be the richer for-his .presence. .Of his type there .are few better' bowlers in. tho country, and when it comes to bowling a wiong 'un Eeyling is in a class on his own. It is a gicat pity that, ho was not ,rctainod .as a representative when brought out for Town against Country. some years ago. /-, ■ ■

'Although not: occupying a top place in the averages for the season,,the New Zealand cricketer's in the League last year finished upl in prominf erit positions. W.B. Merritt gained the distinction of taking the greatest num.b.er of wickets for the season, and^ h<) also easily broke the Rishton Club's'.rof cord "bag" for a season.- Merritt1 also made the second highest, score of the season. I. B. .Cromb, whose batting form was somewhat; erratic for a period, came with a rattle in the closing stages of the season, but he was not a suece'ss as a bowler, and occupied a place far down the list of bowling averages. A. W. Roberts performed fairly consistently with bat and ball.
