CRICKET.
DISAPPOINTING BATTING
(By Telegraph—Per Press Association.) LONDON, June 14. Though the wicket was somewhat worn it played truly enough and consequently the New Zealanders display was a great disappointment. Blunt played a restrained confident game but Lowry failed to settle down. He attempted one big hit hut mistimed it so badly that lie fell back on the defensive game. McGirr and Dacre established a partnership which promised for a. while to save the game. McGirr who realised Ids responsibility, batted especially well, still he was not full of confidence. He scored eleven front one of Jupp’s overs. Dacre hit a sixer and then fell to a shooter. 1 he batting after lunch was rather scratchy and the game reached an undistinguished conclusion. Xorthants howling was steady and a good lengin. The howlers sometimes got much work on the ball hut this did not account for New Zealand’s poor showing. Ihe match will long he remembered at Kettering for its sporting qualities.
