K.C.C. Hang On Too Long Against Saturday Tanner” On

University: Ozorio Bowls Well

One of the features of the season is the number of declarations for small totals. Sometimes they come off and sometimos they do not, but they always make for an exciting game instead of a dull draw. For in- stance the Small Units declared at 110 for seven wickets leaving the Civil Service eighty minutes to got the runs. The fact that the match was lost did not matter in the slightest. The cricket was interesting right up to

the end.

An example of the reverse process which cost them' the game was given by K.C.C.'s late declaration against the University. What possessed Teddy Fincher to go on until he had got 171 on the board, I don't know as against the bowling at his disposal I should have put 130 as a safe score against the University who are not quick scorers though some of them can defend stubbornly. 1 am informed that the declaration was made just before Four and that meant that with the tea interval Kowloon would only have an hour and a half to get the Varsity toon City by 20 points to 13. out. And, though Lloyd was on his day with the ball, at the end only eight wickets had fallen, and only 91 stood on the board,

It is perhaps easy to be wise after the event but I can honestly say I should myself have declared at 130 or 140
