They are very strong both in bat- Hamilton ting and bowling, and are considered Dixon by many to be favourites for the top Ling position at the finish. Robinson, with 70 Fletcher (not out), had the beat league score of the day, and was closely followed by Claxton, who gave a fine exhibition of big hitting.
