UNPLEASANT CONDITIONS FOR CRICKET

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 fternoon on the Club ground, things for fly E. L. Gosnio and E. M.
