THREE HUNDRED RUNS
ENGLISH BATSMEN BUSY A day of big hitting. MANAWATU’S HARD TASK. By Tolegrairh.—Press Association. Palmerston N., Last Night. The cricket match between Manawatu and the AI.C.C. touring team was begun to-day in dull weather, Gilligan won the toss and sent Alanawatu in. They were dismissed in the first innings lor 67 runs, and AI.C.G. lost seven wickets for 306. Alanawatu opened cautiously, to lose the first wicket for 10 and the second for 16. Gallichan commenced brighter play, but with the loss of BrouglAon the game again quietened. Gallichan was completely beaten by Legge, and following the dismissal of Alanawatu’s crack batsman the side practically collapsed. Norris was caught almost on the leg boundary. Baum her gave promise of making a stand with McViear, but with five in hand he skied Legge and was held. Spring joined McViear, and although nervous settled down to score quietly. McViear was snapped up by Worthington, and Spring was next run out with one lie had played back. Ongley, junior, was l.b.w. first ball. Gngley, senior (captain), and Cutler were the only ones to make a stand, and 30 was put on when the luncheon adjournment was called.
, On the resumption three had been added when Cutler was clean bowled. Ongley was then partnered by Greig, but the latter failed to last.
ALC.C. opened briskly, but when 30 had been reached Gallichan's leftdianders I with leg breaks proved troublesome. Benson at 20 almost returned a ball .to the j bowler, while Allom was not at all set. i Benson continued to add shots all round ■ the wicket, mostly strong pulls to leg. i At 42 Allom was clean bowled with an off break, and Benson was caught behind the stumps with only two added. I Nichols had only contributed one when Gallichan beat him. Duleepsinhjji delighted the crowd with splendid batting, particularly) his on-drives. His partnership with Worthington was spectacular and yielded 100. At 145 Duieepsinhjji hit McVicar to Cutler at long on and was splendidly caught. His 66 included one six, six fours and three threes. Turnbull partnered Worthington when the latter was 40, but with a boundary added Turnbull tried to cut McVicgr and had his off stump dislodged. Earle, a big man and a powerful hitter, contributed three sixes, hitting Gallichan completely out of the ground, but when batting well lost Worthington, who mistimed a delivery, sending the ball to Spring at point. He contributed one six and six fours. Woolley joined Earle, who scored steadily, and had reached double figures when Earle was accounted for by Ongley, senior, off' Cutler's first ball. Dawson started with singles, while Woolley passed the half century before stumps were drawn. The visitors had completely ■ captured the Manawatu bowling. Scores: — MANAWATU. First Innings. B.
