Recreio Attack: Farce At The Kowloon C.C.
THE GLORIOUS CRICKET WEATHER which favoured the begining of the season had entirely departed by Saturday fast, which was as cold an afternoon as I have known for a long time. There was a most unpleasantly bittor wind at times at Sookunpoo, and in spite of two sweaters and a heavy overcoat I was none too warm. What the unfor- tunate players felt like I don't know, but I blame no man for dropping a' catch on such a day. Talk about Keats's ow!!
The Recreio batted rat, and the chief feature of their innings was a fine knock of 72 by L. G. Gosano, who as usual opened the innings with his brother Zinho. It is, speaking subject to correc tion, his highest score in Senior League matches to date. J. M. Gosano (19) and P. M. N. da Silva (22) helped, and runs came quickly, so that just before 4 o'clock Rodrigues was able to declare at 170 for wickets. Several entches were put down but, as I have said, in that
cold blame no one.
A POSSIBLE TASK
THE 1.3.C. started their innings at 4.16, and, as it was, February, had Just two hours to make the runs, and US runs an hour is by no means an impossible task on that ground. But they found Ozorio and E. L. Gosano in deadly form and could do nothing with them in the way of forcing the pace. They are never a quick scor- ing side-unless Minu rets going- but nu is occasion it required excellent batting to keep up the wickel.
overs of outswingern with the new ball, started sending them down from close to the return crease and putting, on an appreciable amount of off spin. Actually he looked more dangcious than Ozorin, but it was the latter who got the wickets.
familyLuigi got four, Zinko two and Gerry one, while the latter took the only wicket which escaped Ozorlo, whose figures were 16-3- 38-6. As so often happens with spin bowlers, he got most of his wickets with loose balls, while his best ones beat buik bat and wicket.
A Complete Farce
AT K.C.C, the claims of Camp turned the game into à complete farce. University cannot afford to lose a single man, and they had four away. K.C.C. had only four of their regular first team playing but run up 178 for three
Maleahy had had to retire after nasty knock in the face-ond the Varsity flopped before Lloyd (0 for 19) and Curtis (4 for 22). For the K.C.C., F. J. Lay (84) and Ernie Pincher (57 not out) did most of the scoring,
