MATCHES DESCRIBED

MIDLAND'S "TEN POINTER"

. Air exceptionally fine bowling performance [by; J. Newman (medium- . paced, .left-hand) was mainly responsible, for the clinching of an innings' Win .by Midland over Karori on No. 2 wicket-at the Basin Reserve. Already Karori-had tasted Newman's wares to their cost,and' a second day's serving ,iip.was, not relished. Most of the batsmen were on .the defensive, as they .were on the first day, and. Newman , had'them in difficulties, especially with • a ball straightening up every now and <<'aSajn.-;:.'£h"eyday'S "bag" for-'Newman !:was;.an-excellet}t one.of eight wickets* ■ giving him Eleven wickets for the .'match at the remarkably small cost of under five: runs per wicket. '. .;The""rot" which'had set in on the -first day- could not be. checked by the remaining. batsmen in Karori's first innings, which, from seven for 44 on the first day, realised only 75 runs. The innings ended, with'O'Neill's first de-.-.livery/King.being'given out on appeal for a catch behind the wickets, a decision which surprised the batsman. Karori followed on, and O'Neill, was ' given the ball again. His first delivery accounted for a wicket, and he took - another during his first over, so that, on top ,of his century, he had succeeded somewhat sensationally with the . ball—three for none for the day. That, , however, ended his bowling success; he was costly afterwards. The exAucklander, Burke, shaped well with the bat in Karori's second innings, and ■he and Cutts were associated in' a useful partnership. Burke used his reach where others ,were inclined to play back, and he looked like being hard to beat. After making 33 he fell 'Ibw to Newman. There were four 4's in his well-compiled score. A splendid . finishing touch to a disappoining innings was given by Rowe, who hit out ■ freely and collected runs in good style. As a dependable last-wicket partner he had McDonald, who kept his end up well while Rowe went" for the runs. • The pair put on" 45 runs for the last wicket, Rowe's 44 (some of which were made before .McDonald went in) including six-4-'s.- Karori were all out -for 138, giving. Midland a win by an <irtnings and 26 rims. Newman, took six Wickets:~for..33',runs in the' second in•Anings. Randall also had some success .-with the ball, but Keating did not.colJect- a wicket.
