UNPLEASANT CONDITIONS FOR CRICKET
OVER WEEK-END
RECREIO BATSMEN SEEN TO ADVANTAGE AGAINST HONGKONG C.C. BOWLING
(By R. Abb!!")
I have known many worse days than Saturday last, but for all that it was definitely unpleasant, as there was rather a raw feeling in the weather and the darkness closed in exceptionally early. Even on the K.C.C. ground where the light is generally good it was extremely difficult for the spectators to see the ball, even at 4.30. It is not sur- prising, therefore, that slow cricket and drawn matches were the order of the day.
During the earlier part of the quick wickets but then with 3 down ufternoon on the Club ground, things for Alty E. L. Gosano and E. M. L. were not too unpleasant and the Soares settled down and put on B5 Recreio were seen to considerable runs for the fourth wicket in bril- advantage. Owen Hughes opened liant style. The score went very with Beck but could not get a wit-rapidly from the fly to the hundred. ket though his first spell figures of 0-1-0-0 show that the batsmen could not make much of him.
