The next three balls were delivered to his partner at the wickets, who blocked carefully, evidently bent on acting on the defensive while his companion made the running.

From the fifth ball of that over a bye was scored, which brought Driver once again to the end facing the bowler.

The next ball came slightly to the "off," and he tried to cut it.

Either he miscalculated, or was careless about the direction he gave it, for he lodged it clean into my hands, a safe and easy catch, but a catch of enormous importance to our side, as it disposed once and for all of our most dreaded opponent.
Bereft of their champion, the Westfield fellows only succeeded in putting together the moderate score of fifty in their second innings, of which twenty-four were contributed by one man.

So our spirits revived somewhat, as we discovered we had only 123 to make to win.
