Sutcliffe has performed a feat without parallel in international Fricket. This is the second occasion on which he has made a century in each innings in a Test match, and the fourth time he has done it in bis career in first-class cricket.
At Melbourne in 1995, he made.. 170 and 127 against Australia. In this Test against South Africa, his

TO-DAY'S MATCH. AT CAROLINE HILL.
The result of a match is narrowed down to a division of 9 points in- stead of 99; and taking the case of the "A" division, in which there were many close results, excitement has run high. Another factor, a cham-psychological one, is that the margin of defeat does not sound so terrible, a reverse by 6 sets to 3 looks better than a corresponding one by 8 to 33 games!
There are a few players, however, who favour the old system of eleven games instead of a set. It certainly has its advantages, but the general complaint was that it did not pro- vide sufficient play. But judging by

The value of the old method was that it helped players to develop a good defence. Steadiness paid better than enterprise, perseverance gathered more points than bril- liance. Several of the best tennis players in the Colony gained their first experience of match play under the old system and they testify to
its value as a foundation of steady play.
The value of a sound defence is not so clearly appreciated as it
