The MCC have won the first three matches of the two-week tour of Argentina. The opening game was rather one-sided, the MCC easily beating a ten-man Colts side, but the tourists were given a tougher time in the next two games against Argertina. The first match was only settled in the last over. Richard King’s 93 enabled the MCC to post a good score, but Argentina were right in the hunt when they required 20 off the last two overs but it proved beyond them. George Brooksbank took 3 for 26 in both matches. There are three more games, culminating in a two-day contest against the national side.
