MATCH IN SYDNEY

NEW ZEALAND CRICKETERS FIRST INNINGS TOTAL 195 HOME TEAM FOUR FOR 126 (United Press Association) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) * SYDNEY, Nov. 19. (Received Nov. 19, at 11.30 p.m.) 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 the 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 in trying to turn a straight overspinner. Kerr, after a good innings, including four boundaries, was dismissed by a smart catch in the slips. The small crowd was then entertained by some very vigorous hitting from Wallace. This player, although he had neyer seen O’Reilly before, treated him with great disrespect. Wallace’s score of 32 included four 4’s and two 6’s, all off O’Reilly. It was not a case of slogging, as Wallace awaited the right ball to hit. The two 6’s were from three balls. McCabe then took up a position on the leg fence, and the next ball Wallace placed into his hands. The New Zealanders, before lunch, lived up to the reputation of playing bright cricket. 100 taking only 83 minutes.

Four wickets fell quickly after lunch, but Carson and Tindill stopped the rot, adding 43 in the ninth-wicket 'partnership, the best of the innings. 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 minutees.

O’Reilly maintained an exasperating length throughout and was easily the best of the State’s attack. 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 later off Moloney. The total reached 100 in 112 minutes, while Jackson and Barnes registered a partnership of 100 in 85 minutes.,

The attendance was 3368, and the takings were £127 4s. J. Fitzpatrick is twelfth man for New South Wales.
