TEN WICKETS

NEW ZEALAND BEATEN AT ADELAIDE —— l TOURISTS’ BRIGHT DISPLAYd FIELDING AND BATTING (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright! Received Nov. 8, 11.30 p.m. ADELAIDE, Nov. 8. ’ The New Zealand cricketers werd beaten by ten wickets by South Aus* tralia in their first Australian match, but they leave Adelaide knowing they were responsible for the brightest features of the game. It would have been a drab contest but for the tourists’ superb fielding and sparkling hitting. In the second innings to-day, Vivian was the star. With crisp, vigorous shots he scored 18 in the first over from the fast bowler Cotton and his 50 took 46 minutes. His total ot 61, including ten fours, occupied 61 minutes. He treated fast and slow bowlers alike in cavalier fashion and went out to an excellent catch by Scaife at silly mid-on. Wallace’s 37 was made with the same brilliant stroke-making as the first innings. Donnelly batted better to-day for 24, graceful leg shots featuring a knock which included four fours. The innings closed at 186, leaving South Australia to get seven, runs for an outright win. These Walker and Eadcock collected in four overs. The Test bowler, Ward, whom tfn? manager, Mr T. C. Lowry, rated as better than any slow bowler encountered on the English tour. was a thorn in the side of the New Zealanders, taking seven for 62. Ward was seen in another role in South Australia's first innings, when ne made 41, taking the side's total to 331. Cowie, Vivian and Ward were the best bowlers. Although it cannot be rated up to first-class Australian standard, the New Zealand bowlin# in its deadly accuracy, backed by brilliant fielding, may extend other State sides which are not as strong as South Australia. Grimmett was limping badly from a strained knee muscle and did not bowl to-day. Scores are as follow: South Australia First Innings

Tindill, not out 0 SHOULD IMPROVE PROSPECTS FOR EATER MATCHES. SYDNEY, Nov. 8. C. G. Macartney, commenting in the Sydney Morning Herald, says:— “It seems that if the New Zealand cricketers can quickly settle down to the wicket conditions they will improve vastly by the time they reach Sydney. Their bowling in Adelaide seems to have more accuracy than venom. “New Zealand has an uphill fight in the second Innings against South Australia. but its work indicates distinct possibilities lor later matches in Australia." TO TURN AMATEUR HAMMOND S DECISION Received Nov. 8, 10.20 p.m. LONDON, Nov. 8. The Daily Herald says that Waltet Hammond is turning amateur in ordet to devote more time to his new business appointment. He will be eligible to captain England in the next Tests. Extras - 1
