NAZIR ALI'S BOWLING

The All-India touring cricket eleven must have felt satisfied at the conclusion of their first important fixture of the tour. They forced a strong Sussex eleven under the captaincy of one of their own fellow-countrymen to a very creditable draw after securing a slight advantage on the first innings.

Time and again the ring of spectators voiced their appreciation of the manner in which the Indians fielded. Navle, behind the sticks, made some wizard saves and proved a most entertaining and proficient stumper. The Maharajah of Porbandhar also set a very line example to his team when in the field.
