/CRICKET at Madang, New Guinea, has been V-4 in the doldrums owing to lack of players, and visiting vessels therefore are welcomed for the opposition they can provide in a young, fit and keen team.
T lu J return niatch > Played at Madang, in June, between Madang and a team from HMAS Culgoa,” the town won by the slender margin of 29 runs. Highlights were accurate spin bowl ing of Wilson and Bratt, for the Navy, and the hurricane hitting of opener McLellan, and Murray s fine bowling effort for the home side With 103 to chase in less than 90 minutes, McLellan gave Madang an excellent start, his 44 rnade in 20 minutes including 6 fours and 2 sixes. Spinner Wilson then brought about disaster and with five wickets down for 53 Madang's prospects were not bright. Christenson and Fienberg then became associated in a part nership worth nearly 50 runs and the necessary total was reached with 15 minutes to spare— McLellan, 44; Christenson, 33; Fienberg, 21.
