Continued from page 4.) In bowling the Probables were able to get the other side out with- out charge. Bird bowled magui ficently and there was no doubt of his salection after he had got Olliver and Wahl out for 10 runs. None of the opposing batsmen were at all at home, and only de Rome stayed in for any length of time, and he did not make many runs. Davies also was as good as we have seen him and coming off the ground very fast it was a very great risk to touch any of his balls that came down just outside the off stump.

The two réserves chosen also | deserve mention --

A. E. Wood, after the first two overs, is one of the best batsmen in the Colony, but be "has a bad habit of getting out'before scoring. He is a googly bowler who might come off on occasion and a first class man in the outfield.

E. B. Reed, is a very good, bowler with a beautiful high action who get a lot of turn on the ball, and who has very dangerous ball on the leg stump His eyesight is reponsible for his rather poor displays in the field and his bathing is not interport class,

On the whole I think the team chosen is a splendid combination which ought to win all three matches. The only improvement in the side I could suggest would have been to sacrifice one of the batsmen, say Sayer for instance, for a slow bowler. But I have no bowler to suggest except Rumjaho, and I do not think him good enough.
