Otherwise it was a week of upsets, the principal one of these being the Indian Recreation Club's victory by 10 wickets against the Optimists at Chater Road.

Watching Torquay outbell and outplay a McCracken- less Aldershot, we were forced to a number of reflections, but mainly: What does a player have to do to please his home crowd?
•
Don't dismiss the point as unimportant. Torquay's John McNeil testifies to the fact that class operators with whom he has played have gone as far as to stuff cotton wool in their ears to shut out the disparagament of their own terrace boys.
