Weather For Week-end
T. G. C. Knight Carries Club Against Indians: But Defeat Unavoidable
THE SPELL of fine weather which has been enjoyed by the Colony came to an end on Friday night and Saturday was anything but a plea- sant day though'rain did not interfere with the cricket to any serious ex- tent. Nor did the over-night drizzle really affect the wicket though on some grounds it made the ball hang a little, and sawdust was necessary in como cases for a greasy ball.
The light was gray though apparently batsmen could see the ball where there were good screens. There were few high scores made and this probably is due rather to the change of pace in the pitch rather than any particularly brilliant bowling,

whim he hit Minu for 22 in one over and Groso stood by and got 10 runs. I was told that 3 wickets only were down with 110 on the board, but the final total was only. 145 runs. Still the I.R.C. had only a little under an hour and a half to get the runs.

Incidentally, the fast occa- slon this feat was achieved Was on the samo ground when Don Tallon, Queensland wicket-keeper, caught seven Victoria batsmen during the 1938-39 season.
