"R. Abbit's Cricket Comments
CRICKET TAKES ITS PLACE IN THE SUN
Encouraging Enthusiasm Shown By Clubs: Pleasant Week-end Games
BY NOW the cricket season has been going on for a month and it is pleasant to find that there is so much of it. Teams of course are bound to vary as various mombors are away training or in Camp. But as long as one remembers that it does not matter who wins, all is and will be well...
At the moment there do not seem to be many new
arrivals, though most of the old hands seem to be going Lawn Bowls pretty strong. What has struck me particularly is the
lack of bowling. I know of course that there have been Players For
several "sensational performances," but usually, I believe, against weak batting. At the moment I can think of no bowler in the same class as A. R. Minu. 2
The lack of bowling was very well shown in the match between the II.K.C.C, and the Civil Ser- vice. The Club Had out a pretty .good batting side-T. G. C. Knight who comes from Shang- hai is a useful acquisition-but only five of them had a knock, and yet the Civil Service have useful bowlers or bowlers who have been useful-in Baker, now able to play for them after a season's absence, Perry, Me- Lellan and Whitley while a new and young recruit N. L. Smith (No! no relation) is shaping quite fairly.
But somehow there is just some- thing lacking-a Anal bit of devil perhings which makes them far less successful than you would expect them to be if you watched them bowling for a bit. They do most thing but get wickets.
On Saturday, after Parsons went early, Knight (51) and Owen Hughes (71 not out) took ten with the bowl- Ing. Aler Pearce only got 21 before being 1.b.w. while his brother was undefeated with a similar number.
