SATURDAY’S CRICKET

Knight Scores a Century

GRANGE REGISTERS SEASON’S HIGHEST TOTAL —ALBION DISMISS LEADERS FOR 43 — SOME REMARKABLE BOWLING FIGURES COLTS HEAD CARISBROOK—BADCOCK’S USEFUL DOUBLE KAIKORAI WELL EN-

TRENCHED.

Favourable conditions prevailed for Saturday’s cricket, and the games in the Otago Cricket Association s senior competition provided some tall scoring as well as some very moderate totals although the wickets generally favoured the batsmen. The most refreshing cricket of the afternoon was seen on the North Ground where Grange compiled the splendid total of 342 in the match with High School Old Boys, several batsmen giving, very attractive displays. A. Knight showed a return to his very best form, and put together 103 in a little over two hours. C. Elmes followed up his century of the previous week with a well-compiled 54; A. Boyd made 44 and A. Galland 42 in quick time, and several of the others reached double figures. L. Groves took four wickets for 80 runs, but although G. R. Dickinson took only two for 89, he was easily Old Boy’s most dangerous bowler.

The biggest surprise of the day was occasioned by the low scoring in t the match between University (leaders in competition) and. Albion (who occupy second place). Albion was out for 161» of which S. Duncan coptributed 52 and L. Smith 49. For University, Gilkison took five wickets, for 26 runs, and A, R. Cameron four for 59. After a fair start University’s . innings became a complete debacle and the side .was all out for 43, M‘Garten (12) and Ryan (11) being the only double-figure scorers. J. Allan secured the remarkable figures of four wickets for two runs, off four overs, R. Silver took three for 17, and J. . Shepherd three for 20. Following on. University lost-two for 13. ■ With seven wickets in hand, the Colts have passed Carisbrook’s total. This game was played at Carisbrook, where the home side was dismissed for 136, J. M'Mullan top-scoring with 42. Badcock took five wickets for 60 and Campbell three' for 29. The Colts replied with 145 runs for the los of three wickets, Badcock making 59 in 29 minutes, and Saxton.4B. Kaikorai put together 202 against Dunedin, the colt, A. Burgess, making 69, while Vial put together 36. Douglas took four wickets for 53 and Macaseey two for 42. Dunedin lost seven wickets for 39, Cook, the left-hand slow bowler, securing five wickets for seven runs. HONOURS LIST BATTING A. R. Knight (Grange) 103. A. Burgess (Kaikorai) 69. F. T.

Grange had possession of a good wicket on the North Ground all afternoon, the outfield being fast. Against a rather ineffective attack Grange put together the highest score of the season, the innings closing for 342 at 6.15, when stumps were drawn for the" day. The side was given a splendid start by Boyd and Toomey, the opening partnership producing 56 runs before Boyd was j bowled by Leader with a goodlength ball. Boyd batted for 45 minutes, and his 44 included a 6 and seven 4’s, the 6 being scored between mid-on and squara-leg. Boyd made his strokes cleanly and well, giving only one very difficult chance, off Dickinson, when he was 22. Toomey showed more restraint than his partner, but_ kept his end up well, picking an occasional loose one to hit.

He was joined by Knight, who opened in lively fashion, straight driving Groves for two successive 6’s. Dickinson was now and again getting in a real whizzer which obviously beat the batsmen, one of them just ■ touching the top of Toomey’s bat, and being well taken in the slips by Edwards. 89—2—22. The bowling was characterised by over-pitching, enabling Knight and Elmes, free-hitting batsmen, to continually drive the ball through the field. Both gave a refreshing exhibition of free driving, keeping the hall along the turf, and Elmes also made a lovely square-leg hit to , the boundary off Mahony. Knight was also scoring freely all round the wicket, and the pair took the score to 187 before Elmes did not go out far.enough to Groves, missed the ball, and was stumped by Mills after compiling 54. His total included nine 4’s.

Timms joined Knight, and the 200 was hoisted after 135 minutes’ play, and though Knight appeared to be tiring at one stage and was not hitting so cleanly, he livened up again after Timms left with the score at 215, the latter being caught by Mills off Groves when he had scored 11. Indeed, Galland and Knight were associated in as delightful an exhibition of powerful batting as one could wish to see, and it was not until he was within one run of his century that Knight gave the semblance of a chance. He then offdrove Giles to the boundary, Dickinson just getting his hand to the ball, though it could scarcely be called anything more than a technical chance. Knight was 124 minutes in reaching three figures, and a little later he was caught in the covers by Graham off .Giles, five .wickets being down for 286.

Knight’s 103 included fourteen 4’s and two 6’s. ■ Galland had been driving with great power, and also scoring with facility to leg; but with his score at 42, including seven 4’s, Dickinson bowled him with a ball that whipped up and lifted the bails, six being down for 288. Dey and Tomkinson were in ( another good partneship, which carried the score to 334 before Tomkinson was run out, after scoring 21; and then three wickets fell in quick succession, Groves, who at no time had been very dangerous, claiming two victims by Ibw decisions, and Graham dismissing Anderson as the result of a briliant catch in the outfield by Leader, who had to run several yards to get under the ball. Dickinson’s figures of two for 89 did not flatter him, for he bowled well and kept up his pace well. _ The fielding of the Old Boys’ team, with a few exceptions, was lamentably bad, and the atrocious returns to the wickets contributed not a few runs to Grange’s total from overthrows. Details; —

UNIVERSITY DEMORALISED FOLLOW-ON AGAINST ALBION Albion elected to bat on a good wicket, but when five wickets were down for 51, a very small total was then expected. However, Duncan (captain) and Smith stopped “ the rot,” and the total was raised to 136 before Duncan was dismissed by a ball which failed to rise, after making a most attractive 52 in 36 minutes. He played all the bowlers with the utmost confidence. - Ten 4’s, mostly from perfectly-timed square cuts, were included in his total. Smith was not quite so aggressive, but anything loose was punched. He was a little bit uncertain for a start, and on’ one occasion should haw been caught by Henderson at mid-off. He went out to a ball which kept low. The partnership yielded 85 runs in 36 minutes. Albion’s opening pair were shaping well until Dalziel ran out to meet a “ halfpitcher,” the first one he received from Cameron, and was bowled. Shepherd was dismissed to a catch in the long field. Martin also began well, but he wag another victim • to a “ shooter.” Barron, Brookes, and Allen went out to poor strokes, and Silver was 1 run out. Gilkison and Cameron shared the wickets, the former being the most impressive Varsity trundler on the day. For the most part the students’ fielding was good. Against the bowling of Silver, Shepherd, and Allen University collapsed, and were all oiit in under an hour, failing by 19 runs to avert a follow-on. After the first over Silver struck a good length and became almost unplayable, taking three • wickets for 9 runs off six overs. When he was given a spell, Allen took a wicket with his first ball and another wicket in the same over, finishing up with four for 2. Albion,missed nothing in the field, and Allen and Dalziel took brilliant catches, Allen getting Uttlcy at square leg off his favourite shot. The students began their second innings with 35 minutes to go, and when an appeal was made against the light at 6.27 and upheld two wickets were down for 13 runs. i Details:— ALBION. First Innings.

COLTS PASS CARISBROOK BADCOCK HAS GOOD DAY By scoring 145 for three wickets in smart time Colts passed Carisbrook’s first innings score of 136. Against good bowling, particularly on the part of Badcock and Campbell, the Carisbroolk batting was laboured, and, had it not been for a fine stand by M’Mullan (42) and .1. Cameron (31) the innings would have been nothing short of a disaster. The wicket was in excellent shape. Kerr and Dunning opened for Carisbrook, the attack being in the hands of Badcock and Stevenson. Kerr was lucky not to be caught off the first ball of the match, but for the remainder of his strike he batted soundly. _ Dunning appeared nicely set, but, with 13 on, he got his leg in front of one from Stevenson. Cavanagh joined Kerr, only to be easily run out after reaching double figures. The next four wickets fell cheaply, but the advent of M'Mullan brightened Carisbrook’s prospects somewhat. . He and J. Cameron carried the score to 128 before M'Mullan went for a big hit and was caught at long on. The" rate of scoring had been slow, nearly two hours elapsing before the century was hoisted, but in large measure this was duo to the smart and keen fielding of the Colts. Carisbrook’s innings closed for 136, Badcock, who bowled unchanged throughout the innings, finishing with an average of five for 60. Badcock and Saxton took first strike for Colts, and the partnership yielded 83 before Badcock was clean bowled by Kerr. He had batted in his usiial aggressive fashion, and his 59, which included eight fours and a six, took exactly 29 minutes to compile. Saxton, although not so punishing, gave an attractive display, and was always master of the bowling. Just before-time was called Carisbrook’s score, was passed, and Colts, with seven wickets still in hand, had 145 on when stumps were drawn. Details CARISBROOK.

KAIKORAI WELL AHEAD DUNEDIN FAILS DISMALLY Kaikorai are practically ' in an unassailable position as a result of the first afternoon’s play in the game with Dunedin at Tonga Park, the Hill side making 202, due mainly to. a 70 runs partnership between Balk and Burgess, who mftde a chanceless 09, and the fine bowling of Cook, the Kaikorai lefthand tnmdlcr, who took five for i. Dunedin losing seven wickets for 39 when play was terminated for the day. Balk had a life when he was 12, but Burgess played a chanceless innings, and after Balk had been caught by Holley off Torrance, Burgess and Vial took the score to 175. Burgess appeared to be well set for a big score when he was run out owing to a misunderstanding. Douglas, with four for 53; secured the best figures among the Dunedin bowlers. The feature of the-Dunedin innings was the excellent bowling of Cook. He took five wickets at a cost of only 7 runs, and dismissed three Dunedin batsmen in one over, tw T o wickets being taken with successive balls. None of the Dunedin batsmen was able to get going. Four wickets w r ere down for 35, and the next three wickets fell for the addition of only four more runs.
