Owing to heavy scoring it was found impossible to complete this match in a couple of days, although the Gymkhana declared both its innings closed. Wilson hit fifteen 4’s in his 100 and offered only one chance ; with Christie as his partner 130 were added for the third wicket. In the first innings of Central India, Jilani and Whatford put on 116 together, the latter, who hit sixteen 4’s, scoring 96 by all-round cricket, and making only one mistake— a hard chance when 70. Joy failed to bowl with such effect as be had in the matches with the Parsees and Hindus. Score and analysis :— B ombay G ymkhana . First innings. Second innings. Lt.
