IMPROVED BATTING Changes Of Fortune At Happy Valley: Time For Drawing Stumps

ENITAKO MORATA, A DA NAWA

THERE WAS PLENTY of cricket last Satur- day, and at least one close finish down at the Valley, but perhaps the most surprising thing of the afternoon was the batting form of the Recreio first cleven.

Previously it has been very shaky, and they have usually been pulled out of a hole by one or two individuals, but on Saturday practically everyone shaped well. It is true that the Club bowling was not very good, but I have seen Recreio 90 down before no better stuff.

Going in first they opened with two of the Gosaños J.M. and L.G., who, I discover, answer to Zinho and Luigi. (This solv- ing the Gosano problem was my good deed of the day). Thom- son bowled from the Yard end medium fast, but he was very wild, presenting L.G. with a sit- ting four off the first ball, a long hop wide to leg. Alec Pearce

bowled at the other end, and after J.M. had taken a single to extra cover an excellent shot- L.G. was lucky to edgo the ball between the two slips, though it was not a catch.
