CRICKET.

NEW ZEALAND V, N.S.W. VISITORS SCORE 195 RUNS. SYDNEY, November 19. The New Zealand batsmen failed to master the New South Wales slowhowlers in the last match of the tour, and were dismissed for the modest total of 195 runs. The New Zealand bowlers responded with a great burst, but were unable to consolidate their advantage. The match was played in delightful weather. The wicket was favourable to the batsmen. Vivian and Kerr opened brightly. Both relished the fast bowling of Lush and Hynes, and it was surprising to see Vivian miss a full toss which he tried to turn to leg. Moloney was also out in trying to turn a straight overspinner. Kerr, after a good innings, including four boundaries, was dismissed by a smart catch in the slips. The small crowd was then entertained by some very vigorous hitting from Wallace. This player, although he had never seen O’Reilly before, treated him with great disrespect. Wallace’s score of 32 included four fours and two sixes, all off O’Reilly. It was not a case of slogging, as Wallace waited for the right ball to hit. Two sixes were from three balls. McCabe then took up a position on the leg fence and Wallace placed the next ball into his hands. The New Zealanders before luncheon lived up to their reputation of playing bright cricket, the first 100 taking only 83 minutes. Four wickets fell quickly after luncheon, but Carson and Tindill stopped the rot, adding 43 in a ninth wicket partnership—the best of the innings. Carson was most subdued, taking 117 minutes for his runs, which included five fours. At one stage he had not added a run for 40 minutes. Tindill

appeared quite comfortable against the bowling, which had troubled batsmen higher in the batting order. He went out when a misunderstanding found both batsmen in the middle of the pitch. The New Zealand innings lasted 199 minutes. O’Reilly maintained an exasperating length throughout, and was easily the best man in the State’s attack. New South Wales opened sensationally, Cowie and Parsloe getting two quick wickets each, four of the State’s leading batsmen being out for 20. The bowlers were not really fast, but kept a good length. Parsloe appeared to injure a leg and gave way to Moloney, who was very expensive, 30 coming from three overs. The colts, Jackson and Barnes, prospective members for the English tour, both batted in fine style. Jackson’s 50 took 76 minutes and included five fours and a six, the latter off Moloney. The side’s 100 occupied 112 minutes, and the partnership between Jackson and Barnes added 100 in 85 minutes. The attendance was 3368 and the takings £127 4s. J. Fitzpatrick was 12th man for New South Wales. Scores NEW ZEALAND. First Innings.
