Bowling analysis (first innings: McNamee, four wickets for 36 runs; Gnmmett, three for 85; Blackie, three for 93; Morton, none for 41. The Queens-lander bowled nine no-- " balls and McNamee four. Second innings: McNamee, one tor five (bowled nine overs, five maidens), . Grimmett, none "for 15; Kippax, none for 6; Schneider, none for 12; Morton, . ""oW was at the wickets .for the best part of an hour for a couple of runs, and had to put up with a lot ot barracking from the occupants on the • bank These people, however, quite failed to appreciate the position in which the New Zealand team was • placed at the time. McNamee had only five runs scored off his nine overs, five .of which were.maidens. This gives an indication of how difficult- he was to play under the conditions. Blackie did not bowl in the second •innings owing to a slight strain. . The* most satisfactory part of tne ? match, from the point of view of the New Zealand Cricket Council (which -takes the nett proceeds), was the gate takings which, for the three days, com- • stituted a Dominoin record of HWA Members of both the Australian and New Zealand teams left for Dunedm Jast evening.
