THE CLOSING STAGES OF AN

INTERESTING GAME

(By R. Abbit)

The Navy beat the Army by 84 runs in the two-day Triangular Tournament cricket match which finished on Christmas Eve. Below, R. Abbit describes the concluding stages of the game, in which the Army collapsed on a rather bad wicket.

He took square for having to bat on that it very easily in his left hand. How wicket in the fourth innings. He was on earth-or anywhere else he saw perfectly right, though the extent of it at all I don't know. the Army disaster cannot be put down to the pitch alone.

Everyone got a few runs at the end of the Army Innings and their score of 215 was satisfaniory on the wicket. If it had seemed likely to be bigger at one time, it also at another seemed likely to be smaller!
