The result and general run of the play-off between the Indians
and Craigengower is well-known to followers of local cricket, and I propose now only to deal with some individual performances.
A. IL Madar. George Sousa, A. R. Minu, E. Zimmern. P. J. H. inoria, S. A. Ismail and K. Nasarin come to mind at once and also clear in the memory, far ons reason or another, are A. R. Abbas. M. el Arculli, M. P. Madar, F. Zimmern, and W. Hong Sllar,
This much comment I would like to make to the game itself. It was one of the best games I have seen for many a long day, with the interest sustained from beginning to end. I think the Indians should have made the 128 required with something to spare, and that they got only 88 at the end is eloquent tribute to the accuracy of the Craigengower bowlers and the high quality of their elding. though their own lack of initiative contributed in some measure.
