CRICKET

CARISBROOK’S GREAT SCORE. 517 FOR THREE WICKETS. THREE CENTURIES COMPILED. The mooting of Carisbrook and Albion at Carisbrook on Saturday provided one of the moat sensational exhibitions ot cricket over seen in Dunedin, and several records were, broken. The outfield an wicket were splendid, and the absence ot any breeze pave the batsmen every opportunity to distinguish themselves, inis they did in a manner that made local cricket history. When stumps were drawn Carisbrook had compiled the huge tota of 517 for three wickets, which is a record score as far as Dunedin is concerned, and ono that has seldom, if over, been equalled in tho annals of the game in the dominion Worker and Duncan established a- record first-wicket partnership for Dunedin, the pair amassing 221 before Duncan lost ins wicket. Dunning assisted in making another record, as bo scored Die third century for the afternoon. Worker was extreracly unfortunate in missing his double century by only 6 runs, as he swung his bat round to a hall well oil tho wicket and knocked a bail off. The previous best first-wicket partnership in Dunedin firstgrade cricket was held by J. Austin and H. G. Austin, who compiled just under 200 a few years ago. CARISBROOK v. ALBION. On a perfect wicket Worker and Duncan commenced Carisbrook’s first innings, Blamires opening the attack. Worker sneaked a single from 81-amires’s _ second ball, and Duncan followed suit with the next, Worker playing a straight bat to the nest five deliveries. Both batsmen played cautiously, treating the first four overs of Blamires with respect, only 11 runs being scored from thirty-two balls. Shepherd was treated less respectfully, Duncan repeatedly driving him to the boundary. Duncan was generally more aggressive than his captain. Blamires began to tire badly after his fourth over, which was a maiden, and 10 wore hit off bis next and the following overs. Numerous changes in trundling were then tried, but with 100 on the hoard both batsmen settled 1 down to ono of the brightest, exhibitions seen in a local club game for years. Worker pounced on anything nn tho leg side, and Varied Ins favorite stroke with a powerful off-drive, also scoring several singles which were sent in the direction of cover. When both batsmen neared their centuries they slackened down somewhat, and this to some extent was duo to the experiments of Blamires, who was sending down full tosses, half volleys, long hops, round-arm deliveries, and “ skyscrapers,” which were further varied with . some excellent fast ones. At 198 the individual tallies were Worker 98 and Duncar. 96, there being only 4 extras. From tho first ball of Blamdres’s next over Worker sent an easy one to the boundary, making his score 102, and bringing 200 up as the result of 100 minutes’ play. Blamires’s sixth ball was a full toss,- ajid Duncan hit it past long-on to the fence, thus completing his century, and establishing a first- j wicket partnership record as far as Dunedin is concerned. It was also a unique oc- , currencc that two centuries should bo com. pletod in the same over. At 4.10 the fruitful partnership was brought to a close, Duncan falling to a straight one from man gave three very difficult chances. He played a wonderfully different game from that in the Carisbrook-Grangc match, when he was at the wickets for over an hour for 12. He hit fourteen 4’s and four 3’s. Dunning joined Worker, and shortly, before 5 o’clock tho latter, per medium of a lovely drive, brought 500 up, bis own score being 151. Both batsmen treated the tired bowling unmercifully, though Dunning was the more aggressive of the pair. Binncy, tho next trundler tried, essayed to separate the pair, but Dunning sent ins last four deliveries resoundingly against tho fence, making the aggregate 570, his own contribution being 86 and Worker’s 175. In Biuney’s second over Dunning helped himself to a dozen, the last four .seeing his century hoisted, the lota; then standing at 393. Dunning had scored his century in under an hour. H. Vorrath was now given a turn with the ball, Worker despatching him to the grand stand fence for 4. The next one was a single, 400 being signalled, with Worker within 10 of The much-prized double century. Dunning sent tho fifth ball for a single, and a choice leg hit added 4 to Worker’s tally. Tho next ball he attempted to chop, and tipped tho wickets with his bat. Carisbrook’s captain played a really magnificent innings, and it was quite chanceless. 403—2—194. The second wicket partnership had added 182. At 5.40 A. C. AJJoo joined Dunning, who a few minutes later was smartly thrown out. 417—3—117. Dunning also gave a chanceless display, and was more aggressive than either Worker or Duncan. A. W. Alloo joined his brother, 450 being registered at 6 o’clock, and it only took two minutes for 460 to be hoisted. Light rain now began to fall, and this added to the bowlers’ troubles, though the poor light also handicapped tho batsmen. At 30 A. W. Alloo drove back a difficult one into Vorrath’s hands, which he declined. Shepherd came on again, and steadied matters a little. In Vorrath’s next over A. W. Alloo hit one from him clean over the grand stand, the total being then 480, and his own score 38. At 6.15 490 was brought up by a brace from A. W. Alloo that hit a fieldsman .in an adjoining match on the back. The brothers played out time, scoring with great freedom, the total at the drawing of stumps being 517 for three wickets.

Baker and Cherry opened for Dunedin, the former . hitting two 4’s before being clean bowled Iby Conradi. Cherry played a forceful inI nings for 57. He watched the ball well, ancT his driving was a treat to witness. This is Cherry s best effort since his 72 1 against Grange in the opening match of : the season, and his recent failures are ascribed to ill-health. Three wickets were down for 120, but except Torrance and | Eckhold tho others made a very poor I showing. Eckhold hit four 4’s and Tori ranee three 4’s. Conradi bowled particuj larly well, securing eight wickets for 67 runs. At 5.40 Knight and Kenny opened for Grange. At 43 Kenny was run out, and C. Chadwick and Knight played out time.
