Tie Outrig’ht
The unusual result of an outright tie was a feature of Wellington lowergrade cricket on Saturday. It occurred in a second grade match between Midland and Johnsonville, the former scoring 65 and 178 and the latter 89 and 154. Starting the last innings of the game, Johnsonville, with a lead of 24 on the first strike, were set the target of 155 runs for an outright win. When eight wickets were down for 86, the chances appeared poor, but a stronglywagging tall raised hopes with a great effort, the last wicket falling with the aggregates level at 243.
