HAWKE CUP MATCH

NELSON’S TOTAL 183. MANAWATU’S BAD START. GOOD INNINGS BY BAUMBER. The Hawke Cup match .between Nelson and Manawatu was continued this morning in dull weather. Nelson, who had eight wickets down for 179, continued their first inning. The visitors added only four more runs to their total. Manawatu opened badly and at one stage four wickets were down for 2o runs. Baumber and McYicar then stopped the rot, carrying the total to 90 before the latter, who had played an invaluable innings for 11, was disposed of. At the luncheon adojurnment Manawatu had made 92 for the loss of six wickets. .. J. Newman did not add to Ins score for Tarrant, with bis first ball, clean bowled him.—l 7 Mcllwraith followed and played out the over. Galliehan took up the bowling from the town end and R. Newman square-cut him nicely for four. However, with the fifth ball of the over he finished off the innings, bowling Newman, who had made 21. The total was 183 MANAWATU’S OPENING.

Pacey and Wild opened for Manawatu, the former facing J. Newman from' the river end and notching a single. A. Newman bowled a maiden over from the town end. After two more maidens, Wild opened his account with a lucky single to square leg. A fast one from A. Newman went through for two byes. J. Newman was also getting some pace and a fast one went for four byes. Play was very slow, and there were four successive maidens without incident until Jones snapped up Wild behind the stumps off A. Newman.—B—l—l. Pegden. followed, but skied his first ball to Ralfe at mid-on. Newman had taken two wickets for no runs in five overs. , , Galliehan joined Pacey, who drove J. Newman straight back for three, bringing 10 up. Galliehan opened his account with a shot to cover, Neale misfielding the ball. Another succession of maidens followed till Pacey got a brace off J. Newman. Two balls later the batsman was clean bowled. 16—3—6. McVicar followed and cut the first ball nicely for a single, and, facing A. Newman in the next over, secured another single. Up till that time A. Newman, who had opened the bowling, had not had a run scored off him in eight overs. Twenty came up after 50 minutes’ play with one to McVicar, a nice shot off J. Newman to fine leg. Galliehan opened out and square cut A. Newman to the fence. The. next ball, on the leg, he lifted, but it did not quite reach the boundary, yielding only a brace. The New Zealand representative’s knock was brought to a close next ball. Ho drove A. Newman hard back and the bowler ran up to take a good one-handed catch. 26—4—9. Baumber partnered McVicar and opened brightly, getting A. Newman away to leg for four—3o up after an hour’s play. HawkesMook over from J. Newman at the river end and Baumber pulled him right round for four. A nice shot past point brought him double figures—top score at that stage. Baumber survived a confident appeal for leg before off A. Newman and then notched a single. The Levin representative was going along nicely and two fours to leg off A. Newman brought him into his twenties and 50 up. Searell came on at the river end McVicar scored his seventh single. Baumber lifted the ball, but it travelled over mid-off’s head for two. He connected with the next ball and a nice shot to fine leg rattled the pickets. J. Newman replaced his brother, who had secured three wickets for 23 runs. Baumber square cut A. Newman—who had come on again—to the fence, bringing him into the thirties. In Searell’s next over he lifted tile ball over the leg fence. Neale persevered with Searell, who had Baumber in trouble for a while till he glided him for a single. McVicar reached double figures with a single off Searell. He had scored ten singles. Baumber ran into the forties, lifting Searell over the leg fence again—90 up. The partnership, which had added 64 runs, was not destined to see 100 up, A. Newman clean bowling McVicar, who had made 11. Ongley followed and played out the over. Searell gave way to J. Newman who, with a beautiful ball, took Ongley’s off peg.—9l—6—o. Fletcher partnered Baumber and the pair played out the few minutes before lunch.
