THURSDAY, A U G U S T 28tB, 18S0. f ja in lk m : \ The abstract and brief chronicle Ol the time.— Bam Ml Our good friends the Parsee cricketers have been recently establishing a double record. There have been plenty of signs that there has been a marked improve­ ment in the all-round cricket of the Parsees even since their last visit to Eng­ land. Their latest achievement, too, is one which will be read of with interest by all who have had the personal acquain­ tance of Parsee players, either here or in India. In their match against the Poona Gymkhana at Bombay, on August 6 and 7, the Parsees would have won easily, had time allowed, as after an innings of 248 they !got Poona out for 110 in the first innings, and had four wickets down in the second for nine runs. The match will be marked with a white stone in the Parsee calendar. It furnished, as I have already said, a double record, as not only was their aggregate of 248 the highest they have as yet put together in Bombay, but Mr. B. D. Gagrat's innings of 108 not out is the only one of three figures so far scored by one of the Parsee cricketers in an important contest. It may be of interest to some who remember the discussion on the fairness of Mr. R. E. Mody’s delivery, when Mr. Vernon’s team were in India, to know that he was no-balled for unfair bowling in this same match.
