BRIGHT CRICKET

NORTHANTS BOTHERED. I , • V ‘ " •' / ' . CALLICHAN’S DELIVERIES. DOMINION BATS WELL. (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) (From the Special Correspondent of the United Press Association . with the Team.) Received June 4, 10.5 a.m. LONDON, June 3. New Zealand took all the honours in the second day of the cricket match with Northamptonshire. They forced the county to struggle hard to avoid a follow-on and then showed some of the most satisfying batting form of the tour. Dunning bowled swingers excellently, once Having four wickets . lor 18, 'three being caught in the slips and one being stumped, the ball reoounding.

the Northants wicketkeeper, James, saved his side lrom total collapse. He played an innings comparable to his lorm when in New Zealand. He drove with great power, hitting a dozen fours.

Gallichan’s slow balls bothered the batsmen. Donnelly was used to break a troublesome partnership. Roberts was persevering but ill-fortuned. . Tlie fielding was enthusiastic, good catches being taken by Weir, Lamason. and Tindill. New Zealand rattled on tlie'runs in the second innings, batting for under three hours. Kerr, gliding and cutting the fast bowlers beautifully and occasionally driving and hooking powerfully, hit nine fours—a brilliant display. The consistent Wallace again played a workmanlike innings, hitting five fours. Carson found' the form, be had misplaced since' the first match, heavily pasting all the bowlers and bitting five fours and seven twos, being especially severe on the leg side. Page confidently assisted to add 60 in the last 30 minutes in failing light.
