NORFOLK MATCH

EXPERIENCE IN TESTS

INCONSISTENT TOURISTS ANOTHER BATTING COLLAPSE COUNTY LEADING ON FIRST INNINGS (From the Special Correspondent of the United Press Association) NORWICH, 23rd June. In the cricket match with Norfolk, New Zealand neutralised effective bowling in tiie morning by indifferent batting in the afternoon against an insecure first innings attack, when an opportunity was presented for useful batting practice on a good wicket. Gallichan struck a good length and a constant spin in the home side’s innings, which he maintained at one end while the change bowlers tried 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 also fairly pacy, dismissed the first five batsmen for 88 runs. From this bad start the tourists never recovered, though Weir, Lamason and Tindill Dlayed a determined innings. The batting breakdown was alarming, in view of the presence of several batsiren who are considered to be among the mainstays of the probable side for the lest. The game attracted spectators from all parts of the county. The attendance was 2000. Details:— NORFOLK First Innings ¥ Thistleton-Smith, D Weir t B.

SHOULD BE VALUABLE TO NEW ZEALAND COMMENT BY C. G. MACARTNEY (Received 24th June, 11.10 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. Commenting on the first test at Lords between England and New Zealand, C. G. Macartney, writing in the “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 evperience gained in these tests sh'.mld be of infinite value to New Zealand cricket. For that reason alone England could have widened the field of selection and encouraged some of her young men, whose claims to international honours seem beyond question.
