HAWKE CUP

NELSON COLLAPSE. MANAWATU BOWLERS ON TOP. HOME TEAM IN STRONG POSITION The morning’s play in the Hawke Cup match left Manawatu in a strong position. Nelson in their second strike could only make 93 and at the luncheon adjournment Manawatu had 54 on for the loss of two wickets; leaving them 67 to get with eight wickets in hand. Nelson fared badly this morning, adding only 46 runs to their score while seven wickets fell. Gallichan took three wickets in two overs, and the Nelson team collapsed. J. Newman was the only batsman to withstand the Manawatu attack, being unbeaten with 25 to his credit. Besides Gallichan, Tarrant bowled well, better than for some time, and Ongley started the procession. The weather conditions were most adverse, a strong north-easterly wind and a slight drizzle making cricket unpleasant.

When Hawkes and A. Newman resumed this morning Ongley (from the town end) and Tarrant took up the bowling. After two runs liad been scored Hawkes reached forward to one of Ongloy’s which came in to take his off stump.—s9—4—l6. ' WICKETS FALL RAPIDLY. J. Newman followed and brought 60 up off the first ball. He turned Tarrant nicely to leg for a brace and. in the next oyer drove Ongley powerfully for four. J. Newman reached double figures and brought 70 up with a square cut off which they ran a single. Almost immediately he lost his brother, Tarrant taking his middle stump.—7l—s—2l. Without the addition of a run S. Newman, who followed, got his leg in front to Tarrant. —71 —6—o. Jones opened confidently, notching singles off Warrant and Ongley. Gallichan replaced Ongley and J. Newman turned a short ball for a single. Tarrant beat J. Newman with a ball that came in, but it cleared the wickets and the batsman sent the next through the slips to the fence, bringing 80 up. 06 the first ball -of the next over Ga llichan clean bowled Jones, who had made three. R. Newman only lasted two balls before Gallichan spreadeagled his stumps.—B0 —B—o. Gallichan continued on his devastating way, and with the last ball of his next- over clean bowled Searell. JNewman was batting brightly, getting a four off Tarrant and three off Gallichan bringing 90 up. Gallichan had his field in close for Mcllwraith who played out the over. Mcllwraith was not at home >to Tarrant and the bowler secured liis third l.b.w. decision to finish off the innings.

MANAWATU BEGIN SECOND STRIKE.

Requiring 121 to win, Pacey and Wild commenced Manawatu’s second strike at 11.30. J. Newman bowled with the wind behind him from the river end and sent down a maiden, A. Newman bowling his swingers into the. wind. Pacey turned J. Newman to leg for a single, run of the innings, and wild secured a brace off the next ball, following it with a single. After A. Newman had bowled two maidens, Pacey drove him powerfully to the off, tne ball, rattling the pickets. Mcllwraith replaced A. Newman and Wild sent his first ball to >clie leg boundary, a pretty shot. The i'eildmg man made an uppish shot later in the over, but the ball cleared the field to continue to the fence. .Paoey brought 20 up with a two to mid-on off Mcllwraitu who gave way to S. Newman. Pacey gave a chance off J. Newman, Jones just failing reach a very fine cut which went to the boundary. Wild survived an appeal for leg before in the same over. Neale made ’a double change, S. Newman replacing Mcllwraith and Searell going on in place of J. Newman. Wild brought 30 up after 40 minutes with a single off S. Newman who gave way to his brother Alec. Hawkes later replaced A. Newman and bowled a maiden to Pacey. After seven maidens, each batsman scored a single off Searell. With 38 on the board, of which he had made 17, Wild touched one from Searell and Jones took a good catch behind tlxe stumps. McVicar joined Pacey who brought 40 up after 80 minutes with a pull for two off Hawkes. In the next over Searell with a beautiful ball dismissed Pacey 41 —2—lß.

APPEAL SURVIVED. Gallichan followed and hit Searell for two, surviving a confident appeal for catch behind the wickets. McVicar opened his account by getting Hawkes away to leg for a brace. A smart throw-in by R. Newman was dangerous, but the veteran was within his ground. McVicar brought 50 up with a cut off Hawkes who gave way to A. Newman. Gallichan and McVicar continued to bat steadily and at the luncheon adjournment were still together. Details are as follow : NELSON.
