N.Z. AHEAD OF WARWICK

GOOD PARTNERSHIP Donnelly and Hadlee (From, the Special Correspondent of the United Press Association). BIRMINGHAM, August b._ Warwickshire relied mainly on spin bowlers. Paine, the left-hander, Hollies, the right-hander, and even Wyatt, bowled slow breaks. Four New Zealand wickets fell for 65 runs. Hadlee and Donnelly were then associated in a fine partnership, putting on 110 runs in 35 minutes. Haalee was aggressive, driving on both sides of the wicket with great power. He hit ten fours and one six. Donnelly was brilliant, scoring his first 50 in just over half an hour. He hit anything over-pitched or under-pitched, with extraordinary force. Later, his rate of scoring quickened considerably. After being struck painfully by a bumping ball, he passed the 1090 runs mark in first class matches, being the second member of the team to reach this goal. Donnelly was dismissed six short of his century, when he missed the ball in jumping out to drive. He hit thirteen fours in an innings which lasted four and three-quarter hours. Nine batsmen were out for 23 J, Lamason and Gallichan gave the side a lead in an aggressive last-wickct partnership. The use of a heavy roller made the wicket easier. Warwickshire scored steadily until Moloney, bowling a very good length, took four wickets in quick succession, two with the co-operation of Tindill. Five were out for 100. Cranmer, the Rugby International, and Buckingham, hit aggressively in a valuable partnership, the former hitting two fine sixes. Scores:—

N.Z. TEAM’S VISIT TO AUSTRALIA. SYDNEY, August 6. Despite opposition from Victoria, the Australian Board of Control is expected to agree to an invitation being sent to the New Zealand cricket team, to play here on their way home from England. Macartney, writing in the Herald ” urges that the proposed tour should be approved, as it would be of assistance to both Australia and New Zealand players. Victorian members of the Board of Control are opposed to the proposal. Dr. Morton said that a better proposition would be for New Zealand to send a team to Sydney, for an Anniversary match, next February. | AUSTRALIAN VISIT. APPROVED BY CRICKET BOARD. (Received August 6, 11.5 p.m.) SYDNEY, August 6. Tom Howard received official advice to-day, that the Australian Board of Control has approved of a visit of the New Zealand cricketers to Australia in November. Victoria are not keen on the visit, owing to their heavy local programme, but they are expected to abide by ■ the Board’s decision. New South Wales and South Australia are anxious to meet the New ' Zealanders, and the financial success i ■ of the matches is completely assured.
