FYFE’S CENTURY

BADELEY JUST MISSED Nomads werte below full strength at Onerahi, being without the two mainstays of the attack, while Cormack and Lawrence were also missing; However, as it turned out, they were not missed, except in the second innings. In recent games 'Badeley has been carrying the side, on his back; in fact, he has become of as v much value to the eleven as Weir is to Services, In a colossal first wicket partnership of 131 with Agnew, he laid'the foundations to a threepoint Win.

This was after Onerahi had been to the wickets for the first time. Their knock produced 91, so that Nomads had left this in the rear with ten wickets in hand. Bowling for the visitors, the ex-South Auckland captain gathered in 5 wickets for 39 off 12 overs. He was well supported by Mortqn, 4 for 35. The {ear of the Onerahi batting list did more than their bit, or their

side woufd havp been out for about 50. Badeley blended caution with X, aggression, his strokes crossing the line eight times for fours and three times, for' sixes. The value of Agnew’s feat can be gauged by the number of runs put on while he was there. Fighting for the premiership, Nomads, declared, and forced Onerahi to go in again, and once more the seaSiders showed theiri claim to the, fltle of a “second-innings - team 1 ” •Fyfe, the young Onerahi batsman', in a lively exhibition of free hitting, made the bowlers who had held sway only a brief space previously look

as though they never were bowlers* xHe collected runs from the seven . tried and was Anally not ouf with )U opposite his name. Although not made at the pinch, it was a Ane effort none the less.
