FLUCTUATING FORTUNES

IN CRICKET PLAY-OFF Hunter, Fay And Lewis Do Well For Police

ABBAS, SUFFIAD AND RAMJAHN PROMINENT FOR THE LOSERS

By "Adrem"

the cricket in the junior play-off between Police and In- dian Recreation Club at Sookunpoo on Sunday was at certain stages extremely dull, the excitement of the last half-hour made the trip to I.R.C. well worth the effort.

Police won a closely-contested game by the narrow mar- gin of 5 runs and, by so doing, secured the junior shield for the first time in the history of the club.

Pulling well together. as a team, jketers will go to Clifford Pope, their Police thoroughly deserved their suc- captain, and his extremely sporting cess and the congratulations of all cric- team.

“GRANDSTAND”

HELD OVER

Owing to pressure on зрасс, "Grandstand's”. notes on the Macao softball trip have been held over until to-morrow.

Fortunes fluctuated considerably in the course of the match. Police, having taking spin, met with early disaster, losing Carey and Clarke, two of their most dangerous batsmen, in the course

first use of a soft wicket which was

of the first 10 minutes for only five

runs.

ROT STOPPED

A useful stand between Pope and Hunter saw the score taken to 34 be- fore Pope was caught at point by

Markar, Hunter continued to bát soundly, watching the ball right on to his bat and later opening out ond driving nicely. He took part in a fur- ther partnership, with Danbrowsky" which realised 30 runs.

On the advent of Fay, following. the dismissal of Danbrowsky, some of the best cricket of the day was seen. Opening his account with a glanced drive to the square-leg boundary. Fay followed this up with a beautiful. square-cut and proceeded to lay on

the wood in no

uncertain

manner.

Latterly he had some difficulty in time ing Ramjahn's leg-spinners but his 25 was an extremely useful effort.

The Police tail wagged quite vigor- ously, veteran T. H. King hitting two- nice fours and Kirby doing really well to score a hard-hit 20.

The Police innings closed at 3.50 for 131.

Abbas bowled very steadily for the Indians but did not meet with a great: deal of success, while Ramjahn, mix- ing them up well and spinning the ball. from the leg a great deal, was always difficult to play and thoroughly de- served his fine analysis of 4 for 27.

CORRECT INNINGS

After I. R. C. had lost K. M. Rum- jahn, brilliantly caught in the slips by Estall with only 10 runs on the board, they appeared to have the measure of the Police bowlers, al- though runs did not come very fast.

H. T. Barma played a very correct: innings, one of the bost of the day, and stayed in while 51 runs were: scored, of which his contribution: was 21.

With his dismissal, however, sume- thing of a rot set in and Ali and Razack- were dismissed in quick succession for · only 10.

With 5 down for 61, came M: R.. Abbas, who started off sensationally, to score six fours in quick time off Lewis and Fay and completely alter the complexion of the game.

When he was finally bowled when trying to hit Fay's straight one, the score was 100 for 7. He had been given "good support by A. R. Sufflad' who played a very straight bat to the- good ones and scored freely on the: leg side off the loose balls to compile · 18.

With two wickets to fall, I. R. C. still required 21 for victory. With: only 15 runs required for victory, Carey dropped Marker. When A. H.. Ismail was foolishly run out, I.R.C. were only seven runs behind.

Followed some tense moments be-- fore A, el Arculli, in attempting to hit a full-toss from Lewis to the leg boundary, gave Pope an easy, catch to end a thrilling match.

LEWIS'S PART

well,. usual

Fay, who was not feeling bowled very much below his form but Lewis kept an excellent length and it was his efforts which were as much as anything responsible for the Police success. The fielding, with one or two exceptions, was not impressive.
