'Commencing ;i match si i^nins< iho South Aliiians, Worcestershire in the first innings wore all out for 90. The outfield was soft, but the wicket had been covered and was surprisingly fast and tricky for the first hour.

Crisp and Hell were bowling very well, the latter’s inswingers being destructive. Later, Crisp, who is the faster bowler, had a lively spell with damaging off-breaks. In the last two overs he took five wickets for none. Walters alone looked at ease. The Worcester batting was most feeble, and rather flattered the visitors, who had tt taste of similar medicine. Perks was fast from the pitch, clean bowling two African stars before lunch, .after which the opposition was stouter, Nourse producing perfect cover drives.
