CRICKET
The last day’s play of the final Plunket Shield cricket match of the season, between Auckland and Wellington, was full of interest and provided a large crowd with many thrills. Excitement was intense as Wellington raced against time in an effort to force an outright win against accurate fast bowling. Wellington had lost five wickets for 129 runs at stumps, being 17 short of the required 140. The game thus resulted in a win for Wellington on the first innings. Under the system of points allocated, Auckland takes two for a 'oss on the first innings and, with an aggregate of 18 points, retains the Plunket Shield. The honours of the match were definitely with Wellington.
