SMALL CRICKET SCORES

SENIOR GAMES

Bowlers Do Well On Fast Wickets

MARSHALL SECURES HAT TRICK

A new series of games in the first grade competition conducted by the Southland Cricket Association was begun on Saturday afternoon. Playing conditions were ideal. Wickets were hard and fast, and the weather was fine and sunny. Despite the good playing conditions, however, the scoring generally was on the low side, and bowlers had the advantage over batsmen. The outstanding individual performance of the day was G. Marshall’s hat trick for Union against Old Boys. Marshall secured only three wickets during the innings, but these were obtained with consecutive deliveries. Results of senior games were as follows:— Marist, 60 and 68 for three wickets; Appleby, 71. Union, 172; Old Boys, 113. BEST PERFORMANCES Batting G. Marshall (Union) 46 M. Ryan (Marist) 41 n.o. E. P. Hawke (Old Boys) 38 n.o. Bowling N. Forde (Marist), six for 33. J. C. Scandrett (Old Boys), six for 50. J. Purdue (Appleby), five for 24. G. Brittenden (Marist), four for 23. A. G.

UNION IN LEAD OLD BOYS DISMISSED FOR 113 Union met Old Boys at the High School ground, where the wicket was in good order and the outfield keen. Union batted first and from the outset scored runs in quick time.. C. Brew and L. M. Uttley opened to the bowling of A. G. Pickard and D. Luzmoor. Uttley got Pickard away to the boundary for four, and from Luzmoor’s first over seven runs were taken. The first 10 runs were scored in six minutes. Both batsmen opened out to Luzmoor, who had 18 runs scored from his first two overs. The partnership produced 25 runs before Brew, was dismissed by Gilbertson, who took a good catch. L. McColl joined Uttley and a good partnership of 37 runs, scored in 33 minutes, followed. McColl fell to Scandrett, leg before, after scoring a bright 20. The third wicket, Uttley’s. fell at 64, and Ellis, after scoring six, was smartly caught by Hawke. ta M9ad an ana c mfwan a

The attack of Old Boys at this stage was good and, assisted by smart work in the field, Old Boys’ bowlers kept the batsmen quiet. The next wicket fell cheaply, another good piece of work by Hawke accounting for D. Paterson, who was stumped off Scandrett’s bowling. With half the side dismissed, Union’s chances of putting up a good total did not look bright, but just as Old Boys appeared to be on top, a good partnership between G. Marshall and R. Swinney gave the innings a new complexion. Marshall batted soundly, yet vigorously, and in 35 minutes compiled 46 runs and, with Swinney, put on 53 for the partnership. It was a good stand by this pair. The last four wickets added 41 runs and after batting for 120 minutes Union’s innings closed for 172. The out cricket of Old Boys generally was good. Some good catches were taken and the ground fielding was sound. Scandrett, who bowled nine overs, took six wickets for 50, and but for one loose period of two overs in which Marshall and Swinney took toll of some overpitched deliveries, his length was consistently good. Old Boys shaped disappointingly in reply and was dismissed in under two hours for 113 runs. E. P. Hawke’s innings of 38 not out was the one bright feature of the innings. He was the only batsman who shaped with confidence to Marshall’s fastish bowling. At the same time Scandrett (19), Luzmoor (18) and Mackie (15) batted fairly well. Old Boys’ first five wickets fell for 40 runs, in which period Marshall, bowling at top, obtained the hat trick. UNION First Innings C. Brew c Gilbertson b Pickard 10 L. M.

APPLEBY V. MARIST

POOR RATTING BY BOTH TEAMS There was small scoring in the game between Appleby and Marist, played on the Appleby ground, fewer than 200 runs being scored for the afternoon’s play. Marist took first use of the wicket, which was inclined to be fiery and tricky, and in an hour and 20 minutes was dismissed for 60 runs. One batsman only, R. G. Mahoney, scored double figures. The bowling of J. Purdue and C. McKenzie was deadly. This pair, assisted by E. Calvert, went through the side in under 20 overs. Purdue made the ball get up awkwardly and had all of the batsmen “scratching.” He took five wickets for ,24 runs. Calvert, brought on at the tail-end of the innings, got two wickets in two overs without being scored off. It was a poor dipslay of batting by Marist, which did not shape at all like a senior team. Most of the batsmen appeared to be afraid of the fast bowling of Purdue and McKenzie. Appleby’s reply was little better. The first wicket (J. Milne) fell for none, Forde clean bowling him with the second ball of the innings. Sievwright and Semmens scored 10 before Semmens was dismissed and in the middle stages of the innings it looked as though Appleby would be dismissed for a very small total. Eight wickets had fallen for 51 runs, when two of the tail-end batsmen, Foster and Riddell, became associated. Foster hit out lustily and Riddel defended solidly, and Marist’s total was passed with a wicket to spare. Appleby scored 71 and thus led Marist on the first innings by 11 runs. Appleby’s innings occupied 75 minutes.

Marist’s out cricket was keen and few chances were missed. Forde bowled determinedly and in his first five overs took five wickets for 18 runs. His final figures of six for 33 were very good. Brittenden, who bowled only four and a-half overs, also kept the batsmen quiet. He finished up with the good figures of four for 23.

Marist batted a second time and in an hour and a-quarter scored more than its total in the first innings. P. Grace, one of the opening batsmen, did not stay long, but Ryan and Derbie, and later Ryan and Forde, gave the •side a good start by batting freely and scoring rapidly. Ryan, who was unbeaten at “stumps,” batted forcefully and scored 41, including seven fours. Derbie was out to a splendid catch by Calvert.

At the call of time, Ryan and McGowan were partnered and the scoreboard showed 68 for three wickets.

This game is at an interesting stage and although Marist is behind on the first innings, its stall in the second innings should ensure it playing a prominent part in the decision of the game next Saturday. Scores:—
