CRICKET
WELLINGTON TEAM'S TOUR INNINGS WIN AGAINST ASHBURTON The Wellington touring cricketers defeated Ashburton by an innings and .70 runs. A feature of the play yesterday was the 80 runs compiled by Biggar, who performed well with the ball the previous day. His score was compiled quickly and soundly; it included several 6's off Pritchard, and contained only four singles. M Cormack’s 32 included a 6 and three 4 s. The other Ashburton players were subdued by the bowling, though good fielding contributed to the moderate scoring. Details:VY ELLINGTON. First innings 371 ASHBURTON'. First Innings.
