FOR THE SECOND SATURDAY in succession I was lucky enough to find two senior League matches with only a wire fence between them at Sookunpoo, and consequently was able to see quite a bit of both.

It is difficult to say whether it was good bowling or unenterprising bat- ting that led to a miserable total of 179 runs being scored in four hours cricket. Possibly a bit of both.
