Last season, however, they registered a sensational downfall. Both in batting and bowling the team declined and experiments with a number of young players did not prove a success. However, although Northumberland are not a strong team, the displav of the New Zealanders against them is a very creditable one. Blunt was eviyesterday, did not bowl at all for Northumberland last season.

Although he gave one or two chances, Blunt was unfortunate in not getting his double century after going so far on the way towards it. Lowry was also unlucky not to notch a century. Since he made his third century of the tour, 106 in the second innings of the Worcestershire game, Lowry had not done much with the bat until yesterday. lie has now scored a total of 894 runs in nineteen innings, and, with one not out, his average is 49.66. Between them Blunt and Lowry scored 290 runs, over half of the total. Page, who made 36 yesterday, is now batting more consistently than he did in the earlier matches. The form shown by Oliver continues to be distinctly disappointing. When- he went in yesterday the bowling had been thoroughly trounced by Blunt, Lowry, Page and Dempster and yet he gas bowled after scoring three. Merritt, it will be noticed, was third against Scotland at Glasgow. BENCHES DON'T PAY. Incomes do not grow on park benches. Find a good job through our classified and sit on that.
