MODEST TOTAL

NEW ZEALAND CRICKETERS side all out for ids runs j j FIRST DAY OF N.S.W. MATCH (Uuiled I‘iphh Association -Hy Electric I olograph —CJop.v ritfh 11 SYDNEY, 19th November, i The New Zealand batsmen failed to | master the New South Wales slow bowlers in the last match of the tour, and were dismissed for the modest total of 195 runs. The New Zealand bowlers responded with a great burst, but were unable to consolidate their advantage. In delightful weather the wicket was favourable to the batsmen. Vivian and Kerr opened brightly. Both relished the fast bowling of Lush and Hynes, and it was surprising to see Vivian miss a full toss which he tried to turn to leg. Moloney was also out trying to turn i a straight over-spinner. Kerr, after a j good innings, including four bound- ! aries, was dismissed by a smart catch in the slips. VIGOROUS HITTING i The small crowd was then entertain- ! ed by some very vigorous hitting from ' Wallace. This player, although he had ; never seen O'Reilly before, treated him I with great disrespect. Wallace’s score j of 32 included four fours and two sixes, ! all off O'Reilly It was not a case of j slogging, as Wallace awaited the l ight ! ball to hit. Two sixes were from three | balls. McCabe then took up a position j on the leg fence, and the next ball WalI lace hit into his hands. I The New' Zealanders before lunch j lived up to their reputation of playing bright cricket. 100 taking only 83 I minutes. Four wickets fell quickly 1 after lunch, but Carson and Tindill istopped the rot, adding 48 in a ninthi wicket partnership, the best of the inj nings.

Carson was most subdued, taking 117 minutes for his runs, which included five fours. At one stage he had not added a run for 40 minutes. Tindill appeared quite comfortable against the bowling, which had troubled batsmen higher in the batting order. He was out when a misunderstanding found both batsmen in the middle of the pitch. The New Zealand innings lasted 199 minutes.

O’Reilly maintained an exasperating length throughout, and was easily the best of the State’s attack. SENSATIONAL OPENING New South Wales opened sensationally, Cowie and Parsloe getting two quick wickets each, four of the State’s leading batsmen being down for 20. The bowlers were not really fast, but kept a good length. Parsloe appeared to injure a leg and gave way to Moloney, who was very expensive, 30 coming from three overs.

The colts Jackson and Barnes, prospective English tourists, both batted in fine style. Jackson's 50 took 76 minutes and included five fours and a six, the latter off Moloney. The total of 100 occupied 112 minutes. Jackson and Barnes's 100 partnership took 85 minutes. The attendance was 3368 and the takings £127 4s. J. Fitzpatrick was twelfth man for New South Wales. Scores were:—
