COINCIDENCES T-lAVE you ever noticed how j -**■■■ many there are in cricket? Take the opening matches in Auckland on October 20 and 27. On the first day only two batsmen made centuries. Now there are j many numbers above 100, but both I batsmen made exactly 103. Why is this thus? In the Eden-Grafton match there were plenty of totals, the second highest scorer on each side could have made, but they—Gillespie and Horspool—both made the same, 61. But why? in the England - South Australia match there were two centuries in England’s first innings. But why, oh why, had Hammond and Chapman to make exactly the same score, 145. true form with the ball. He was always troubling the batsmen, and would have done even better with his slips placed further back. Williams, too, showed that he retains the consistent form which took him into the Auckland team last season. Scores: — PARNELL First Innings 121 Second Innings.
