SMALL SCORING

THE NORFOLK MATCH KEW ZEALAND'S INDIFFERENT BATTING HOME TEAM IN THE LEAD (From the special correspondent of the ■' United Press Association with the ■ New Zealand cricket team.) NORWICH, June 23. . (Received June 24, at 10 a.m.) New Zealand neutralised its effective bowling of the morning by its indifferent battrng m the after- • noon against an insecure first innings attack when the opportun itv was presented for useful batting practice on a good wicket. Gallichan struck a good length with a constant spin. Roberts a wonderful running catch on the bonndary. Tindill was excellent behind the W Thompson, whom some consider as fast as any first-class bowler, and Rought-Rought, who is a.so fairly pacy, dismissed the first five batsmen for 88. From this badl start the tourists neve, recovered, though Weir, Lamaspn,_ and Tindill played a determined innings. The breakdown of the battrng was alarming in view of the presence or several batsmen who were considered among the mainstays of the probable side for the test. The game attracted spectators .from all parts of the county, the attendance being 2,000. DetailsNORFOLK. First Innings. Thistleton-Smith b Weir .... ... 9 B. W.

THE FIRST TEST MACARTNEY'S COMMENTS SYDNEY, June 24. (Received June 24, at 11.10 a.m.) Commenting on the _ first test at Lord’s, M'Cartney, writing in, the Sydney ‘Morning Herald,’ says: “New Zealand has not performed convincingly enough in the tour so far to predict anything except an English victory unless the weather conditions play completely into New Zealand’s hands. The experience gained in these tests should bo of infinite value to New Zealand cricket. For that reason alone England could have widened the field of selection and have encouraged some of her young men whose claims to international honours seem beyond question.’t
