The latter was bowl ing very finely with a pitch that was helping him a lot, and Richard- son's knock was very praiseworthy. But barring an occasional over to break a stand I think his bowling is too expensive to use on a dry wicket. On a glue pot it might be very much more dangerous.
Maxwell is clearly a fine hitter and, though admittedly he is a bit dicky early on in defending, he is just the type to make good bowlers lose their lengthy and their tempera. Another bit of information we got is that Col. Wyatt is not always on the spot and is apt to be ex pensive when he loses his length. He has only been out twice-bowl ing excellently before tiffin on last Monday week and nothing wonder- ful later on that day, and badly on Saturday fast. In his only innings he was run out before he had a chance to do anything...
The Selection.
We know definitely, I am told, that Major Crake cannot play That leaves the ten others who play ed fur Hancook's side on Saturday as a base to argue from. It is quite clear that there are only three peo- pk beyond these who stand chance of selection, fur the first match at all events, or possibly Tour, Anderson, "Maxwell, Richard- son and Reid.

At the risk of being called unduly optimistic, I'll go so far predict a win for them and it is to be hoped that the Association will see that the field is properly fenced in. It would be a good idea if they would spend a few cents ca buying a few staves and some rope, and make a fence" from the first base right along to the back on the right field. The same could be done along the third-base line as this would keep the crowd back and make things much easier for the fielders.
