CANTERBURY WINS
PLUNKET SHIELD CRICKET MATCH.
OUTRIGHT DEFEAT OF AUCKLAND.
By Telegraph—Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night.
A Plunket Shield cricket match between Canterbury and Auckland was won by Canterbury by five wickets. Requiring 237 runs in the second innings for an outright win, Bellamy and Kerr had made 91 yesterday without the loss of a wicket, and this left Canterbury only 146 to get to-day with all the wickeits in hand. It took three hours to get the runs. The Auckland bowling was distinctly good, and on a wicket that bumped disconcertingly the Canterbury batsmen Kad no easy task and the batting was very slow. The scores are:— AUCKLAND. First Innings ?.. .279 Second Innings 187 CANTERBURY. First Innings 230 Second Innings. Bellamy, lbw, b Townsend 49 Kerr, b Cowie 46 Cromb, c Bush, b Cowie .............. 38 Page, c Vivian, b Cowie 13 Oliver, b Townsend 35 Hadlee, not out 28 Roberts, not out 6 Extras 22 Total (for five wickets) 237 Bowling: Townsend two for 62, Cowie three for 66, Matheson none for 47, Vivian none for 15, Bush none for- 25 TEAM TO PLAY WELLINGTON. / The Canterbury Plunket Shield team against Wellington will be the same as the one that played Auckland. O’Brien, as before, will be the 12th man.
