CRICKET.

PLAY IN SULTRY CONDITIONS N.S.W. ARE 6 FOR 136 SYDNEY, This Day. The match between New South Wales and New Zealand was continued, in sultry weather. The wicket was good. New South Wales have lost six wickets for 136 runs (Barnes, not out 44, Jackson 68, Hynes 3). PRAISE FOR NEW ZEALANDERS. ONLY LACKING OPPORTUNITIES. (Received This Day, 11.45 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. C. G. Macartney, commenting in the “Sydney Morning Herald,” says that the moderate total of runs compiled by New Zealand did not adequately represent the latent ability of the team’s batting exponents. “Every man was looking for runs and securing them,” he says, “but their weakness lay in the fact that insufficient discretion was observed in the aggressive work. Wallace is a batsman who should be a champion, but at pi-esent his impulsiveness is a noticeable fault. Vivian, Kerr, Moloney, Weir, Wallace and Hadlee are most capable batsmen, who could associate with any in the world, but they* require greater opportunities of rubbing shoulders with first class players.”
