Me | Gurk [21) played go >d orirket for his runs, and he scored more freely than he generally j does. Parton c2l) knx'l;:d up his runs j quickly, and. while at the wickets gave a I good exhibition of " hooking." Enlwistle I (13) played careful cricket for his run-, and showed splemii 1 defence. This batsman is improving fist, and with practice should turn out a fh\-t-ela=s bat. Fish ill) nv.ulc j his runs in good style, as also did Dwyer '*> (11). T. Hoar was the most successful bowler for the B's, capturing 8 wickets for 47 runs. This player keeps a good length, changes his. pa:e, and is never off the wicket. At tho present time I consider Hoar is the best bowler in Wairarapi. Wrigley sent down some ijAft balls. I with the display of batting given by the B team, as I feel sure that the team is capable of making more than 43 runs No less than sis of their men were caught. Wrigley (15) went in for hitting, and made several liae strokes to square on. Hoar ilO not out) batted well for his runs. Par ton and Fi-h bowled in good form, i the former's an.ilysis G for _2, ar.d i the litter's 4 for 20. Parton's success v/;s | I chietiy due to his varying the pace of the j * ball. In their se:ond innings the A team have made a good start, two wickets being down \ for 61 runs. Fi-h ioOi gave a line e.vhi- \ bition of free hitting and hard driving, i McGurk • 14) made his runs in good style, | including sxno well-timed strokes to the [ lee. ■, \ The ground iieldiug was only fair, but Ij i was pleased to see that, most of the catches ] j given were held. During the day's play, no ! j less than twelve batsmen were caught out- [ « Some diliicult catches were taken— jj rr.., when he dismissed Fish ; ' Esson, when he snapped up Mackcllar be- j hind the wickets: Par ton, when he dismissed Wiekens oil his own bowling ; Fish, ! when he sent Esson io the pavilion; and Monro, when he stopped Wrigley increasing j liis score. - Both an..! Entwhistle kept wickets j j splendidly ; there being only one extra in j s each innings. j jj Thi match is to be continued on Saturday ! i • i!
