Owen Hughes is at his deadliest with batsmen of the type who know quite a lot! about-batting but are not so good at exprossing it in action. There seen a sort of idea about that top Lake Your wickets in four balls is an amazing and epoch-making feat, It is an excellent bit of bowling but it has been many times done out here in the laws fteen years, and that would apply to cricket all over the world. Richardson played a gallant knock but apart from that the rest of the story was improper.
