LAST MATCH IN ENGLAND

NEW ZEALAND BATSMEN COLLAPSE MR LEVESON-GOWER’S ELEVEN WINS EASILY LONDON, September 10. Making only 156 in their second innings, the New Zealand cricketers were beaten by Mr H. D. G. LevesonGower’s eleven by 146 runs. This was their last match in England. New Zea and performed creditably in the field, but the batting broke down, the last five wickets falling for 101. Roberts was in great form when bowling into the wind. He swerved awkwardly and kept an excellent length. His morning figures were 7 overs, 1 maiden, 21 runs, 4 wickets. Excellent catching again assisted the bowlers. Wallace held two fine catches at mid-off, and Cowie a good one in the slips. New Zealand required to score more than 300 in about three hours to win. The early batsmen went for the runs, HadJee and Kerr adding 60 in a little more than half an hour. Hadlee was brilliant, hitting seven fours. Six wickets fell quickly. On a very lively pitch Nichols bowled especially well. Cover captured his 200 th wicket for the second season in succession. The wicket wore more heavily than in any other met on the tour, contributing largely to the tourists’ failure to score the winning runs or play out time.
