UNPLEASANT CONDITIONS FOR CRICKET

OVER WEEK-END

RECREIO BATSMEN SEEN TO ADVANTAGE AGAINST HONGKONG C.C. BOWLING

(By "R. Abbit")

I have known many worse days than Saturday last, but for all that it was definitely unpleasant, as there was rather a raw feeling in the weather and the darkness closed in exceptionally early. Even on the K.C.C. ground where the light is generally good it was extremely difficult for the spectators to see the ball, even at 4.30. It is not sur- prising, therefore, that slow cricket and drawn matches were the order of the day.

During the earlier part of the quick wickets but then with 3 down afternoon on the Club ground, things for My E. L. Gosano and E. M. L. were not too unpleasant and the Soares settled down and put on 85 Recreio were seen to considerable runs for the fourth wicket in bril- advantage. Owen Hughes opened Hant style. The score went very with Beck but could not get a wic-rally from the fifly to the hundred. ket though his first spell figures of 1-0-0 show that the Latamen

Wisely Owen Hughes went on again and after being hit in his first over he got Soares c. and b. in his second. Isley was expensive but eventually he got Gosano stumped after Owen Hughes had picked up three other wickets to show the Agures of 5—1—23-4 for his second spell. He is bowling very well this year.
