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

.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 tho batting form of the Recreio first eleven.

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 Gosanos 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 aftor J.M. had taken a single to extra cover-an excellent shot- IG. was lucky to edge the bail between the two slips, though it was not a catch.

In Thomson's second over they ran a very short single to cover, and Alec Pearce threw down the bowler's wicket. J. M., got the decision, but I suspect it was the benefit of the doubti LG, also survived an appeal
