Onerahi Well On Road For Success

Whangarei batsmen again offered weak resistance capitulating to Onerahi for 70. Bowling unchanged, Mason and Drake ran through the side quickly, Drake being the most accurate of the pair. Nisbet appeared to have hit the ball to which ho was given l.b.w. At one stage the scoro did not look like reaching 50, but

Schon, livelier than usual, and Bryant saw the corner turned. Smart fielding contributed to cheap wickets. Four let-offs for Jack Mason enabled Onerahi to reach 27 before the first drop. Jack Drake was aggressive and safe. Off Wilson he hit 4,6, 4, and was tricked by a slow one in the same over. The sixth wicket partnership between the Whimps war worth 68. Playing hfs first hand for 18 months. Cos Whimp was in top form. Hitting hard and cleanly, lie passed the halfcentury In under the hour, giving his first and only chance immediately afterwards.
