An S.C.C. XI only managed to beat a Combined Schools XI in a two-day evening cricket match yesterday by 27 runs, A low scoring game in which the Schools could only ama 52 in the initial innings, and the SE. C, 72 in the succeeding knock, was featured by a good 26 by C. E. M. Thomson and some excellent bowling by Burn who returned the imposing figures of 6 for 25.
The S.C.C, resumed their innings at 5.07 p.m. having lost two wickets for 8 runs on the previous day. This unsatisfactory state of affairs showed no improvement upon the resumption, and wickets began to fall immediately and continued to fall at an alarming speed until Thomson and McCullum became associated. The score at that time read 28 for six wickets, Burn and Fletcher being most effective in the attack. Thomson however put a stop to the rot by forcing the pace (the light was failing badly) and eventually with the assistance of Mc-Cullum and Lawrence, was able to surpass the Schools' total.
Friday: Combined Schools All Out for 52.
