NEW ZEALANDERS’ LAST MATCH

IMPULSIVE FORM IN SYDNEY

STATE TEAM’S STRONG POSITION

United Press Association—By electric Telegrapn —Copyright (Received November 21, 6.30 p.m.) SYDNEY, November 21. At the end of the second day of the match between New Zealand and New South Wales, it appears certain the tourists will suffer their third defeat in Australia.

Apart from Moloney and Wallace, and possibly Carson, the visitors shaped poorly against the New South Wales attack, which was not considered particularly strong. The New Zealanders did well to dismiss the strong New South Wales batting side for 274 runs, although after getting four good men out, including three Test stars, for 20 runs, even a smaller total might have been expected. Lost Grip of Match To-day New Zealand did not appear nearly as hostile as yesterday when Cowie and Pursloe surprised by the excellence of their bowling. Parsloe today was nursing an injured leg and presented no difficulties. Cowie bowled for a long stretch, but failed to maln-

tain his pace. Moloney and Carson secured wickets as the result of bad | strokes and smart catches. Barnes enhanced his chances of Test selection by a chanceless Innings of 102 minutes. He showed good defence and after a very patient display was trying to reach the century before lunch, when he was brilliantly caught at third slip. He hit eleven boundaries. His partnership with Lush, for the seventh wicket, ended the New Zealanders’ hopes of a first innings lead. Lush, Oldfield and White .'.ll batted well, and O’Reilly hit his usual sixer before the innings closed, after 260 minutes’ play. The New Zealanders' fielding was superior to that of New South Wales. Tindill allowed only one bye.

Patchy Batting The visitors began uieir second innings disastrously. Vivian missed a yorker, and when Oldfield moved wide to off to hold a snick from Kerr, two wickets were down for 18 runs. Moloney and Wallace quickly wiped off the first innings deficit, the same two playing most entertaining cricket. They added 74 in 47 minutes. Moloney played O’Reilly confidently, until he hit one back hard to the bowler. Wallace again scored freely from O’Reilly. His runs, which were made in 82 minutes, included seven boundaries. Leg side shots were a feature of a very fine innings. Lamason and Weir failed again, but Carson contributed another useful score.

Although wickets were falling, the New Zealanders again maintained a good rate of scoring, the century being raised after 85 minutes’ play and 150 went up in 136 minutes. The attendance was 7662 and the takings amour ted to £303/13/-.

FRIENDLY CRITICISM BATSMEN TOO IMPULSIVE United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph -Copyright SYDNEY, November 20. Commenting c- he mate’ be' een ITew Zealand and New South Wales in

“The Sydney Morning Herald,” Mr C. G. Macartney says that the moderate total compiled by Nev- Zealand did not adequately represent the iatepf ability of the batsmen. Every man was looking for runs, and souring urem, but their

- eakness lay in the fact ‘hat insufficient discretion was observed in their aggressive work. Wallace is a batsman who should be a champion, but at present his impulsiveness is a noticeable fault.

Vivian Kerr. Moloney, v>elr, Wallace, and Hadlee are -'-'st capauie batsmen whe .juld associate with any others in the world, ut they require

greater upportur-’ies of ru, ,g shoulders with first-clar- players.
