ANOTHER INDECISIVE MATCH

SENIOR B

Batting until half past four. Old Boys compiled 167 against Combined Services B. W. Wilson, the ex-Cam-bridgc player, struck form at last, his batting being the gem of the match, particularly his late cutting. Although Coote did not give a chance in his long stay, he was not really comfortable until the twenties were passed, when he opened up with nice shots in front of the wicket.

Webb played another good knock for Services, who, when time was called, were 96 runs behind with two wickets in hand. Kelly came off as a slow bowler. Scores:—

CARRIED BAT FOR 23. Another marathon by Pringle, who. going in when the match started at 2.10 p.m., was still there when the tenth wicket fell at 4.40, characterised Maungatapere’s innings against Portland.

In two and a half hours Pringle made 23, all but two twoes in singles, thus eclipsing his barndoor performance of the previous week. Thorpe got his runs quickly, and was unforunale in hilling his wicket. Carnac bowled slow log breaks with good effect.
