But the feature of week-end cricket was the KCC's surprising win over what was practically an all-star F. E. Lawrence's XI. This was considerably helped along by Robbie Lee's six wickets for 42 runs, two of them off fine catches by A. M. Prata in deep fold, the wickets including those of L. F. Stokes, L. D. Kilbee, G. N. Gosano and Dr E. L. Gosane, for one of the finest bowling per- formances of the year.
