WAIPA CRICKET

THIRD SERIES GAMES CONCLUDED SOME SPECTACULAR BOWLING WITNESSED The Waipa Cricket Association wound up their third series matches in the inter-club games played last Saturday. ’ Batting on the day’s play was fairly even and teams turned in sojne good totals in the majority of cases. The most spectacular part of the play was the deadly bowling in some of the matches. In the B section game between Ramblers and Kihikihi, Kihikihi collapsed completely to M. Barnett’s bowling. In the short time of seven overs, Barnett took the amazing total of 10 wickets for 24 runs, clean bowling six, catching one himself and forcing 'the 'remaining three to be caught also. Though it was in the second innings, the devastating result must be a record in games possibly throughout the best portion of the Dominion at least for this season. In the senior games, Evans took 4 for 47 and Barton 5 for 43 in the Frontier Road-Wanderers match. Bayly 5 for 28, and McMahon 4 for 19 in the Rovers-Kaipaki game, McAlpine 6 for 39 in the College-Tokanui match and Moxham 5 for 12 in the Ramblers v. Kihikihi match.

There were some good batting records for the week-end’s piiy also, Whitton making 40, Bones 50, G. Farrel not out 56, Sberritt 55, and Lamb 47.
