I may also re- mark here that the selectors also asked-vainly that Nichols might stand down until Saturday, even though he can have few surprises left for Englands' opponents, and gets wickets on his merits only.
NICHOLS SWIFT BLOW Nichols delighted the big holiday. crowd straightway play began, for he bowled Mitchell with the fourth ball of the match. Mitchell played inside an out-swinger which was ziven emphasis by the usual moist air of a seaside morning. The un- commonly green pitch, too, was affected by the air, and Nichols, having paved the way with his wift blow, Stephenson took up the challenge in such a' deadly fashion that Rowan, Nourse and Wade had ine and gone before more than 23 runs were scored.
J
The leading South African wic- kets were down, therefore, at 0, 16, 19 and 23, Wade being caught by second slip off a half-volley that ran away. At this point Nichols analysis also looked cheerful in view of the Test match. He had bowled eight overe, of which three were maidens, and only seven runs
ad been hit for his one wicket.
Wade's downfall proved to be the last sensation of the innings. until two hours had elapsed, for Siedle, who went in first was now ipined by Dalton, and,batting with tare and yet fruitfulnes hey suitived to the lunch interval together.

confidence.

They lost elle eight runs afterwards, neatly caught by first slip Balaskas was the bowler on this occasion, and, using his fight skilfully, he got O'Connor caught by forward short leg at 108, just after Cutmore rea ched 30.
