OLD BOYS V. KARORI

The commanding position established by Wellington College Old Boys in the first innings of their match with Karori at Karori Park robbed Saturday's proceedings of much-"of.,■their, interest, and the position was made even more uninteresting when the remaining t hree Karori wickets fell for the addition of only 3 runs, Karori's first innings yielding 46 runs in reply to Old Boys' first innings score of 309. Enforcing the follow-on, Old Boysj were on ti oir toes to secure the coveted eight-point win. The situation appearec to weigh ■ heavily •on ■ the Karori batsmen who,-in .the mam) offered'a feeble resistance to the attack. Karori's failure to make a better shoeing in no way robbed Old Boys of the credit they deserve for their win, which was obtained by all-round superi ority . Karori's second venture at the. wickets showed early promise of being a repetition of the first innings three wickets falling for 17 runs. It-was-at this stage that Browne and Wells became associated in a spirited fighting partnership that provided, the ..only bright spol; in the. afternoon's cricket. Attacking the bowling with a will, both batsmen sent the score along at ia good rate, Browne in particular making no mistake" with anything in the nature of a loose delivery. The score was carried from. 17 to 70 before they were separated, Whyte securing Wells s wicket when, this player's score stood at 36. Hi's score included seven 4's and a 6 r ■ .-"'..■. With the exception of Cooper who commenced confidently but failed to last, the remaining Karori batsmen provided little help to Browne who remained unbeaten when the last wicket fell. The Karori left-hander had contributed a valuable 69 not out (compiled in ninety minutes and including nine 4's and a 6) towards his-sides, total of 144. runs. The match concluded ,early in. the . afternoon, Old Boys,, winning ;by an innings and 119 Whyte secured bowling honours for Old Boys,, taking two wickets for 1 run to assist in bringing Karon's, first' innings to a close, followed by four wickets for 43 runs in Karori's second venture. Griffiths, by securing orie of the remaining wickets,of Karons, first innings, brought his first innings bag to five wickets for 26 runs, and took three wickets for ■48 runs m Karori's second innings. : Details: — • WELLINGTON-COLLEGE OLD ' .j BOYS.
