NEW ZEALANDERS IN ENGLAND

LIVELY BATTING AT BOURNEMOUTH .«! VIVIAN’S FIRST CENTURY OF TOUR From the Special Correspondent of rhe United Press Association BOURNEMOUTH, August 23. The weather was fine and the wicket in good order for the resumption of the cricket match between New Zealand and Hampshire. It was a day of interesting cricket. The New Zealanders were a popular attraction at Bournemouth on Saturday, over 4000 paying £224, a record for the ground for the season. This was eclipsed to-day, when over 5500 paid over £2BO. A lavish entertainment programme included attendances at the international variety shows, where the starred performers were Billy Cotton's band and Stanley Holloway. Some Lively Batting Vivian, who is now batting better than at any part of the tour, brilliantly compiled his first century on the tour, and reached 1000 runs in first-class matches. He drove exceptionally hard, cut and pulled strongly, hitting two sixes with straight ondrives, and eleven fours. He reached the century in 150 minutes against steady bowling, supported by smart fielding. Herman and Heath (a fastish bowler) showed plenty of life, and Creese bowled accurate left-hand slows. Moloney helped in a partnership worth 97. New Zealand had five wickets for 169 runs, but a fine partnership between Weir and Carson added 112. Carson played very soundly, his score including five fours, all strong leg hits. Weir was workmanlike, driving cleanly and placing well on the leg side.

The light faded quickly after tea, and New Zealand lost the last five wickets quickly against steady bowling by Creese. Hants batted for half an hour and lost a wicket for 49 runs.
