END OF THE TOUR

NEW ZEALANDERS IN SYDNEY. ONLY MODERATE SCORING. (United Pres 9 Association —Copyright.) SYDNEY, November 20. At the end of the second day of the match between the New Zealand cricket team and New South Wales, it appears certain that the tourists will suffer their third defeat in Australia. Apart from Moloney, Wallace, and possibly Carson, the visitors shaped poorly against the New South Wales attack, which was not considered particularly strong. The New Zealanders did well to dismiss a strong New South Wales batting side for 274 runs although after getting four good men, including three Test stars, for 20 runs, an even smaller total might have been expected. To-day New Zealand did not appear nearly as hostile as yesterday, when Cowie and Parsloe caused surprise by the excellence of their howling. Parsloe to-day was nursing an injured leg and presented no difficulties. Cowie bowled for a long stretch, but failed to maintain his pace. Moloney and Carson secured wickets as the result of bad strokes and smart catches. Barnes enhanced his chances for Test selection by a chanceless innings of 192 minutes. He showed good defence, and after a very patient display was trying to reach his century before luncheon when he was brilliantly caught at third slip. He hit eleven boundaries. His partnership with Lush for the seventh wicket ended the New Zealanders’ hopes of a first-innings lead. Lush, Oldfield and White all batted well, and O’Reilly hit his usual “sixer” before the innings closed after 260 minutes. The New Zealanders’ fielding was superior to that of New South Wales. Tindill allowed only one bye. The visitors began their second innings disastrously. Vivian missed a yorker, and when Oldfield moved wide to the off to hold a snick from Kerr two were down for 18. Moloney and Wallace quickly wiped off the firstinnings deficit. They played very entertaining cricket. They added 74 runs in 47 minutes. Moloney played O’Reilly confidently until he hit one back hard to the howler. Wallace again scored freely from O’Reilly. His runs, which were made in 82 minutes, included seven boundaries. Shots to the leg side were a feature of his very fine innings. Lamason and Weir failed again, but Oarson cqntributed another useful score. Although the wickets were falling, the New Zealanders again maintained a good rate of scoring, and the century was raised after 85 minutes, and 150 in 136 minutes. The attendance was 7662 and the takings £303 13s. Scores: NEW ZEALAND. First innings ••• I^s Second Innings.
