CRICKET.

HUTT v. MIDLAND.

fJBho above match was resumed in * lfino "weather. The wicket and outfield were io. good order. It was generally expected that Hutt would make a re* speotaible total in reply to Midland's £76« As matters turned out the local aide failed1 by 25 runs, only to reach . their opponents total despite a very (bad start. Until the last man was dismissed there was always a y possibility ithat the necessary runs would ibe forthcoming. A great, knock <by Wames, "Who compiled a century in brilliant jstyle, had a <big bearing on Hutt'B e&ances of victory and while this batsman remained at the wicketa it appeared as though Midland's total would be passed. A last wicket stand hetweea the colt, Phillips, and Beard had the opposition thinking until the latter was given out lib.w. Of the other batsmen xjfces shaped .best, scoring 88 in fin© stylo. Going in second wicket down, Lees held his end up while 90 Tuns (were added to the score, vthe partnersfiip between ho and Warnes being the best of the day. Me,Girr and Aldersley «ach secured double figures, while Phillips scored 23 not out, helpiAg Warnes to add 57 to the eighth wicket. ■i «»■■■■ • ..j < Details are as follows:^— MIDLAND.

NQTES. WaiTies fully justified his promotion in the ibatting list. Batting very freely the colt showed1 a nice range of strokes, being particularly severe on anything on the leg side. He exploited \tho pull ■ shibt to the fuTl ; picking gaps in the field to find the boundary on numerous occasions. Two sixes, one off Newman, were beautifully timed. He was particularly severe on th.c Nelson left hander, scoring t&e majority of his runs off this bowler. Fifteen fours and two sixes testify .to the 'freeness' of his ibatting ' Warnes's score was made in aibout two and a quarter lijouts. Lees fs contribution of 38 runs was worth many more runs to his side. Going in when two wickets had fallen for seven runs, he slhowed sound defence •at the same time punishing anything loose. Now that this colt taas stiffened ivp his defence, some good scores should Ibe credited to him. Phillips again showed that he can make runs in senior cricket. His score of 23 not out was made with good clean shots. A little slow in starting he should "go in earlier and be given a chance to compile a good sscore. Birch appears to have struck a bad patcii, but will no doubt come to light shortly. . The Junior A's have started well by gaining two five point winrs. Another slower bowler would be of assistance to, this side. The Junior B2 (Colts team) have gained the maximum number of points in their first two matches. Bob Cameron secured a total of 10 wickets for 54 in the match against University The Thirds A's nptohed \heir first which was won by 5 wickets. win against Stop Out A.. Dooley and Langford were, in the main, responsible for this victory. Dooley 42 runs and 5 wickets for 43. Langford 42 runs and 3 wickets for 17. Little junr., 66 not oxA batted well for the 3rd B's wlio drew with University.
