NORFOLK SURPRISE

NEW ZEALANDERS COLLAPSE GALLICHAN BOWLS WELL [by CABLE —PBESS ASSN.—COPYBIGHT.] (Received June 24, 11.30 a.m.) (From the Special Correspondent of the United Press Assn, with the team) i NORWICH, June 23. I New Zealand neutralised effective howling in the morning by indifferent batting in the afternoon against :ni insecure first innings attack, when the opportunity was presented for useful batting practice on a good wicket. Gallichan struck a good length and constant spin in the home side’s innings, and maintained one end, while change bowlers were tried at the other. Roberts made a wonderful running catch at the boundary. Tindill was excellent behind the wickets.

Thompson, whom some # consider to be as fast as any first-class bowler, and Rought-Rought, who- is fairly pacy, dismissed/the first five batsmen for 88 ru’ns. From'this bad start, the tourists never recovered, though Weir, Lamason, and Tindill played determined innings. The batting breakdown is alarming, in view of the presence of. several .batsinen., who’ are considered to be among the mainstays of the. probable side for the Test. 'The game attracted spectators from all parts of the County, and there was ah attendance of 2000. Scores:—- ■ NORFOLK—First Innings. Thistletoji-Smith/b/ Weir .. .. 9 B, W.

June 24, noon.) ; ? SYDNEY,'--June '24. Commenting on the first Test at Lords. Macartney, (vritihg in the “Herald.” says: New Zealand has not performed convincingly enough in the tour, so far, to v predict anything except an .English victory, unless; the weather conditions play completely into New Zealand’s hands. The experience gained in these tests should be of infinite value to New Zealand cricket. For that reason, albne, England could have widened the field of selection, and encouraged J 'some of her young men, whose claims to international honours seem beyond question.
