NELSON AT THE WICKETS

R. Eden, and Neale opened for -Nelson to the bowling of Bernau (fast left) an,d O’Connell (slow right). At four Neale, Avho} Avas batting confidently, played a ball into his pads, whence it went into the Avicket.After some narrow shaves Eden settled doAvn and played nice cricket. Blamires, the new-comer, hit out at the slow bowler, and after being let off badly in the long field, and also hitting a, six, Avas caught by O’Brien in the long field. Smith joined Eden, and bright batting took tho score to 58, Avhen Smith, was also caught im the long field by O’Brien; \vho had to juggle with the ball for a greatcateh. The tea adjournment proved disastrous for Nelson ,and wickets fell rapidly. Kemnitz Avent l.b.w. Avithout scoring, and Eflen Avas clean bowled by a •ball he played over the top of. Haycock f olloAved suit for 3 snd FoAvler was, also l.b.Av. to Bernau for a duck, and seven Avere down for 74—a bad collapse. Bernau Avas still bowling unchanged, and had thus been batting and bowling ever since the commencement of the game, o7«r , x houm ' , . L Jack Newman joined Langbein at V 4 and shoAved something of his iast year s form. Both batsmen played the bowling Avith confidence and made some neat strokes, Langbein being eventually caught at long leg off a good hit at the, ■second attempt by C. Beuth. 93—8—12. S. NeAvman johled his brother, and Bradburn relieved O’Brien with the ball. Bernau hoav had his first spell after being in action since the beginning of the match, having boAvled 16 overs for five Avickets. C. Beuth, who relieved him, bowled J. Newman in his first over. 999 —16.- NeAvman’s innings Avas equal to anything _on the side. Lines, the last mam, joined S. Newman, but was boAvled first ball with the ' score one short of the hundred. The time 5.15, and the innings had lasted" about 130 minutes. "'‘-•vs, '
