CRICKET

WEDNESDAY COMPETITIONS. P.D.C. AND UNITED DRAW. The Wednesday cricket competition was continued yesterday, but although the weather kept fine the boisterous wind marred the conditions of play. In the United versus P.D.C. match, P.D.C. batted first, but United’s steady bowling and keen fielding kept down the- runs. Brace and Spiers were the two most successful batsmen, securing 47 (retired) and 27 (retired) respectively. United’s two opening batsmen did not get properly, into their stride—their wickets were down for 12 runs —but J. Gallichan and Lynch made a determined stand, the former securing a good 37. The match resulted in a draw, P.D.C. completing their innings for 155, and United compiling 72 for two wickets at the drawing of stumps.'* The detailed scores are as follow: P.D.C.

Optimists, batting first, secured the good total of 190, a feature being the splendid partnership of Hicken and Elliott. The game appeared to be in Optimists’ hands, but Combined Services made a determined effort for the runs and got the victory with seven wickets to spare. Good scores were registered by Wilson, Wheatley, Millar and Myers. Optimists won the toss and after the first wicket had fallen Hicken and Elliot became associated in a partnership which added 94. The total was carried to 190 by the subsequent batsmen. Combined Services then went in to bat, Millar, Wilson and Wheatley all registering good scores, Wilson obtaining 70, in which . were 13 fours.
