BOWLERS’ WICKET

LOW SCORING AT DUBLIN COWIE’S REMARKABLE FIGURES TOURISTS DEFEAT IRELAND (From the Special Correspondent ol the United Press Association) DUBLIN, 12th September. In the match against Ireland the New Zealanders experienced a day of remarkable cricket on a pitch helping the bowlers. The weather was dull. Ireland collapsed before bowling full of zest after Carson and Roberts had put the heme team on the defensive by the quick capture of two wickets each. Gallichan and Moloney, with accurate spin bowling, finished the innings in under two hours. New Zealand was out in an hour by the spin bowling and devastating fast and medium off-breaks by Boucher, whose analysis read 12 overs, 5 maidens, 13 runs, seven wickets. Ireland’s second innings was a procession of players. Cowie, who was j called on for the first time in the match, bov/led flat out. He took three wickets with four balls and another j with the first ball of the next over. At :one time he had taken six wickets for one run. In New Zealand’s second innings Lowry and Moloney batted steadily and gave the tourists an easy win. The wicket assisted the bowlers as is shown by the extraordinary proportion of batsmen glean bowled. A return match will be played on Tuesday.
