REFRESHING BATTING
Set to score 180 to win in 105 minutes, Kenneth Baxter and left handed Mulcahy set about the tast with evident relish. Mitchell did not use Beck at the start and in half an hour Baxter and his captain had put 30 on the board. Becic came on to slow down the rate of scoring after 80 had been hoisted, and he quickly got Mulcahy's wicket with a lovely ball. Baxter hand lost his wicket just before by hitting an ordinary ball from Bishop into Bond's hands at forward mid-on. His 54 was made in very quick time and was featured by some grand stroking on the offside of the wicket. He claimed nine boundaries.
