The South Africans were given a tough time by Bermuda's bowlers on a typically bowler-friendly Colombes wicket. None more so than by Gerald Conyers, who picked the wickets of Herbie Taylor and Fred Susskind among others on his way to a 4-wicket haul.

It was a bowler-friendly pitch and our batsmen batted really well to put up a good defendable total. A fantastic bowling by Sid Peglar to secure the match with 6 wickets under his belt.

A good win in the end.

[Samuels]

That was a good outing against India for us. Our three seamers did get the early breakthroughs but somewhere in the middle we lost the steam. We should have been ruthless and pinned them down. Our team should learn it now that we are close to the test status.

Given it is a lively wicket, I am tempted to get John in the side but I cannot drop a batsman because in case of close game, a batsman might make a difference. Small in at #6 for Hoad. Nunnes moves up a place.

The United States will go into their match with the British unchanged, though we know the all-too-likely result.

The Irish, also unchanged, should be a good shout to down the Windies

Charles Macartney and Bill Ponsford steered the Australian innings on the right course after a difficult start at the top. The pair put on a big 170-run stand for the 3rd wicket while spending more than 37 overs at the crease. Both eventually fell to run outs on 92 and 78 respectively.

New Zealand's Dan McBeath accounted for both Herbie Collins and Vic Richardson in an impressive spell of 2 for 27 from his 10-over quota.

For a while, Tom Lowry made New Zealand dream of doing the impossible by beating their Trans-Tasman rivals, the world's greatest Test side.

That dream was shattered by his former countryman Clarrie Grimmett, who had shifted his allegiance to Australian cricket since the previous Olympics. Grimmett stayed clear of Lowry's brutal counter-attack and dismissed Ces Dacre, Cyril Allcott and Herb McGirr in the penultimate over of the match, leaving Arthur Mailey to finish it off in the final over by bowling over New Zealand's final wicket. The Australians emerged victorious by 18 runs to progress to the semi-finals.

AUSTRALIA            227/6     50.0 overs
NEW ZEALAND          209       49.1 overs
   
Australia won by 18 runs
 
Man of the match: Charles Macartney (Australia)

Generally known for giving away his wicket upon reaching a hundred, Jack Hobbs decided to do otherwise today. That he was long overdue a century at the Olympics seemed but a distant memory. He became the first opener to carry his bat through an innings to score a century and also the first to touch 150. The Americans looked a thoroughly and completely battered bunch after being on the receiving end of such a ruthless innings.

Maurice Tate and Arthur Gilligan ran through the American lineup to finish with collective figures of 11.3-0-43-7. The United States were bowled out for 71, their lowest ever total in the Olympics and not even half of Jack Hobbs' own score.

Freddie Martin, Wilton St Hill and rather surprisingly Herman Griffith, were the only batsmen able to counter the demons of the Colombes wicket. Nobody else crossed 20 on the scorecard save for extras.

Ireland seemed down and out after Robert Fowler's dismissal, only to be unexpectedly revived by their last wicket pair who put up 29 runs in 29 balls.

But when the scores were level, Learie Constantine quite brilliantly ran out Gustavus Kelly in his follow through, while the batsman was attempting to complete the winning single. As a result, the match was tied. There was a great deal of confusion as to which team would progress to the semi-finals, with the usual fewer wickets lost tiebreaker rendered useless because of both teams having lost all their wickets during their respective innings.

Eventually, the officials decided to award the semi-final berth to the West Indies in lieu of their superior head to head record against Ireland. Both teams had met only once before in the Olympic Games in 1904, a match which the West Indies had won by a narrow 8-run margin.

WEST INDIES          183       47.5 overs
IRELAND              183       49.4 overs
   
Match tied (West Indies progress on superior head to head record)
 
Man of the match: Victor Pascall (West Indies)

Another low scoring game, another victory for the Argentines. Thanks to Clem Gibson's 5-wicket haul.

Jesam Peas! That is as close as it can get. Ireland should be proud of their effort. The decision to not field Hoad backfired miserably.
