CENTURY BY GOMEZ SAVES WEST INDIES FROM COLLAPSE AGAINST
KENT
Canterbury, Aug. 30.
Gerry Gomez, who has not had a particularly good tour with the bat, came right back to form and saved the West Indies from a collapse in their last match against a County side at Canterbury today when they met Kent. He scored a brilliant 149 and was chiefly responsible for, the tourists' total of 265 rane.
At the close of play Kent had scored 34 runs for three wickels in their first innings in reply. On a pitch appreciably faster than most they have met this season, the West Indles batsmen found the pace bowling difficult to time, Gomez, before however, scored freely with a wide variety of strokes and made 149 runs being run out. He batted four hours and 10 minutes and hit one six and 14 fours. Gomez found a steady partner in the fast bowler, Prior Jones, who scored were all out 20 runs. They added 97 runs for the eighth wicket. The tourists shortly afterwards, having made a splendid recovery.
