"R. Abbit's Cricket Comments

Poor Weather For Week-end T. G. C. Knight Carries Club Against Indians: But Defeat Unavoidable

THE SPELL of fine weather which has been enjoyed by the Colony came to an "end on Friday night and Saturday was anything but a plea- sant day though rain did not interfere with the cricket to any serious ex- tent. Nor did the over-night drizzle really affect the wicket though on some grounds it made the ball hang a little, and sawdust was necessary in come cases for a greasy ball.

The light was gray though apparently batsmon could see the ball where there were good screens.. There were few high scores made and this probably is due rather to the change of pace in the pitch rather than any particularly brilliant bowling.

I did not reach the I.R.C. ground until the Club had com- pleted their innings but I heard,

Incidentally, the last occa- sion this feat was achieved was on the same ground when Don Tallon, Queensland wicket-keeper, caught seven Victoria batsmen during the 1938-39 scason.
