At a time when England is searching desperately for an opening partner for Hutton let me commend you to Peter Richardson. This 22-year-old gentleman farmer from the Vale of Evesham scored 1,500 runs last summer in his first season of county cricket. This year he has already totalled 1.200 and the 2,000 mark.is not. beyond him. Moreover, he is a lefthander, and that would be the perfect counter to Australia's Arthur Morris.

CRAIGENGOWER, KBGC & IRC REMAIN WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE OF RECREIO
By "TOUCHER"
Craigengower, Kowloon Bowling Green Club and Indian Recrea- tion Club improved their positions as a result of last week's matches in their uphill fight to remain within striking distance of the Senior Divi- sion League-leading Club de Recreio.
Craigengower reproduced the form, that had already taken them through four successive wins to overwhelm Hongkong Football Club by the biggest score of the week, 76-38, while Kowloon Bowling Green Club more than nvenged their first round 1-4 defeat by Kowloon Docks by taking full points in their second encounter.
