CRICKET.

NOTES AND COMMENT.

Cricket this season has reached a very interesting stage. Next week will see the first of what may be called our representative met ches but as there will be no inter port till early next season, the selectors will not be busy. As will be seen elsewhere in this issue, some strong teams have been chosen. Meanwhile the league is still progressing and the number

of matches which have had to be

postponed for one reason or an- other, is not big. It would be worth while to play them as soon as op: portunity presents itself to avoid any possibility of abandonment towards the end of the season.

batting is unreliable andwith a pro- nounced tail. The change bowling is usually expensive and seldom dangerous. They have met every tean in the second division except the Navy 2nd. From the R.A.MC. they were fortunate enough to extract full points in both matches at the beginning of the season. Against the Club juniors, they won by a small margin when playing away and lost heavily on their own ground. They have beaten the Indians and Kowloon once each and lost to the University and RE. The match with the Chinese 2nd XI. was left drawn.

•

Several changes have been re- corded in the league statistics. The senior batting list has been lengthened by the inclusion of batsmen who have taken part in two innings. As was done last year, the following rule is followed in compiling the averages. Batsmen with averages of 20 runs or over and bowlers with less than 12 runs per wicket, if they have played in at least half their teams' engagements minimum of two are included. Redpath, of the R.E. team, who has gone home, still leads the junior batting averages and his naine will be included until the Sappers have played thirteen matches-he has batted six times-when it will drop out because he will then not have played in half the matches. Although his average has been in- creased, E. G. Lammert still shows the way in the first division bowling list. Pomfret (Navy) has displaced Middleton at the head of the junior list. Rough (R.G.A.) and Gould (Navy) are added to the names of those with most wickets in a senior innings. The H.K.C.C. v. Craigengower match last Satur- day resulted in a change in the records for this season (to date), the Club having the biggest innings to their credit and the C.C.C., the smallest.
