MINOR COUNTIES TEAM 310

MATCH AGAINST NEW ZEALANDERS GALLICHAN TAKES FIVE WICKETS (Special to the United Press Association) (Received September 5, 6.30 p.m.) LONDON, September 4. Minor Counties made 310 runs in its first innings against New Zealand; which has lost one wicket for 19. The match is being played at Gainsborough Minor Counties opened impressively with a partnership of 120 for the first wicket. A. W. Roberts was bowling with a fine combination of acccuracy and length and a disconcerting flight. Three wickets fell quickly after lunch, N. Gallichan taking two —one well caught at the sight screen and the other smartly stumped. The sixth wicket added 59 and the eighth 64, the bowlers having a difficult task on an easy wicket with a fast outfield. Gallichan bowled with well controlled length and flight, and well earned success. New Zealand batted for half an hour. Minor Counties, embracing the best players of Bucks, Norfolk, Wiltshire, Suffolk and Devon and promising players from the second elevens of Surrey, Middlesex, Lancashire and Yorkshire, is as strong as most firstclass counties, including C. R. Maxwell from Surrey, G. S. Butler from Wiltshire and B. W. Rought-Rought, one of the noted cricketing brotherhood from Norfolk. Scores: MINOR COUNTIES First Innings B. W.

The New Zealand cricketers drew with the English XI. New Zealand accomplished a fine performance in dismissing a strong side so cheaply on a slightly-helpful wicket. W. R. Hammond and H. Edrich scored quickly for half an hour. New Zealand then captured five wickets for only 12 runs. M. P. Donnelly, after finding his length, spun the ball back from the leg and bagged two valuable wickets, one being well caught at first slip. J. Cowie was coming with great pace off the pitch. For about eight overs he seemed to have all the batsmen bamboozled. When A. W. Roberts and J. A. Dumiing were reintroduced they each took a quick wicket, and seven wickets were captured for 50 runs. The English XI declared at lunch and Nevz Zealand was left with two hours and a-quarter in which to make 219. The Englishmen bowled accurately, and fielded keenly, and the task proved beyond the batsmen. J. L. Kerr completed his 1000 runs in first-class matches. M. W. Wallace gave an excellent display with well-played and well-placed strokes. The wicket was dusty on the surface and the ball was “popping” occasionally, the batsmen having to watch it carefully. E. W. Tindill played his last game of the tour. He has taken 51 wickets, 32 being caught and 19 stumped. Scores: ENGLISH XI First innings 464 Second Innings C. J. Barnett lbw b Roberts 5 H.
