A feat that is claimed to be a world's record took place during a senior cricket match in Christ church on Saturday afternoon (states the "Lyttelton Timts"). After taking a wicket with 'the eighth ball of an over, a bowler was allowed to bowl another eight. The umpires and others directly concerned evidently thought a change had taken place, and ithere was no protest from anyone on the field, ithough the scorers cnuckled audibly in the pavilion. Under the rules of the game the sixteen-ball over had to be entered up in the analysis a3 one over, not as two.
