Total for two wickets 66 In the; first .of the matches which was: concluded a-t Lancaster Park, the honours' clearly to the visitors, and their eight' Vickets victory was a fair indication of the trend of the play. The New Zealanders gained some of their lost ground this morning, when they captured the remaining M.C.C. wickets-for an additional 34 runs. This left,the M.O.C. with a. first innings lepdjjjbf 69. It was confidently expected that . Ne" Zealand would demonstrate that thenfailure., of the first innings was no' their true form, but although the--did a little better in the second, P was a laboured effort, in which tin M.C.C. ibowlers always appeared t< be on top, and in which runs looked, very difficult to get. ' Tile match lias shown that in the out-cricket . New Zealand was c-1 earl.v outclassed. The. bowling of the visit - ors was far more accurate, and had lot more devil in it than, that of tinNew Zealanders, whilst their fielditv was equally superior to Ours, It ma; be suggested that in the batting the'are little better, but the bowling anfielding quite turned the scale in thei. favour.
