High Scoring Again Marks Week-End Cricket Games
(By "R.. Abbit")
THE BATTING in the two senior. division games on Saturday last was, though patchy, rather too good for the mediocre bowling that is all that exists in the Colony at present. Making all allowances for a natural tendency to magnify the doings of my own contemporaries, I think it is true to say that there were then quite as many bowlers of the standard we have to-day and bo sides that there were two or three always who were far better than anything we now havo. I am not forgetting some exceptional figures this year but they were all in the second division where
