From Our Own Correspondent
Honiara, Feb. 20.
A SERIES of cricket matches between former residents of Australia or England began with a local “Test Match” in January when England won by 132 runs to 100 in a very exciting game, the 232 runs being scored in three hours’ play.
The matches are held on Sunday after noons on the Police ground at Rove, about a mile from the main Honiara settlement.
The English team in the first game was captained by J. R. Wrightson and the Australian team by K. J. Angel of Sydney.
The “Second Test” played early in February, resulted in a win for Australia.
The Rove ground which is green turf with wooded hills in the background, is an attractive setting and the matches are well attended by European residents.
