Lowry, rated as better than an> ‘ slow bowler encountered on tne EngUsh tour, was a thorn m the - side of the New Zealanders. He took 5 seven for 62. Ward was seen m i another role in South Australia* s first innings, when he made 41. I Cowie, Vivian, and Ward were the i best bowlers, although they cannot i be rated as up to first-class Austra : r lian standard. The New Zealand » bowling, in its deadly accuracybacked up by brilliant fielding, may ; extend other State sides which are - not as strong as South Australia. Grimmett, who was limping badly j from a strained knee muscle, did - not bowl to-day. Scores: —
