Peter May again in fine batting form
London, May 8.
On another wet day when the bowlers usually hold the upper hand, Surrey captain Peter May, who will probably load England in the Tosts against Australia; once again stood out in the County Cricket Championship programme with a fine innings of 99 against Worcestershire at the Oval
here.
May hit 12 fours in his innings of two hours 25 minutes and contributed 85 runs in a third wicket stand of 105 with Mickey Stewart. He is now only 64 short of a career aggregate of 25,000 runs.
