"R. Abbit's Cricket Comments

Poor Weather For Week-end Matches

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 batsmen 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-: pléted their innings but I heard,

on arrival, great things of T. G. Wicket-Keeping Record

C. Knight's innings of 66 against some good bowling by Minu and A. H. Madar. He carried the Club on his shoulders.

Owen Hughes had a purple patch when he hit Minu for 22 in one over and Grose stood by and goi 19 runs. I was told that 3 wickets only were down with 110 on the board, but the Ann total was only 145 runs. Still the .R.C. had only a litle under an hour and a hint to get lie runs. -

STOUT BATTING

BRISBANE, Nov. 25 Reuter R. Haggers, 22- year-old New South Wales wicket-keeper, equalled the world's record to-day when he caught seven batsmen of the Combined Queensland-Victoria XI in a match in aid of patriotic funds.

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 season.

Opening for the Club bowling T. G. C. Kalght bowled four very good overs at rather more than his usual speed, even though he was put on against the wind. Ife got S. A. Is- mall nicely caught at square leg and A. R. H. Esmail (alas! poor Craig

gen- gower!) taken, in the gully two balls after he had been dropped there, by the same fieldman. Thereafter he tired and was, as so often happens was rather upset by drizzle. out here, given that last over which proved very expensive. No one else on the Club side seemed to bolher the LR.C. batanen In the least.
