NORWICH. August 21. Th e New Zealand cricketers gained an easy victory over Norfolk by 'an innings and sixty-two runs. The County followed on and collap--1 sed before the accurate bowling of Matheson, Cromb and Merritt. r lhe innings lasted eighty-five minutes. Matlieson was favoured I by the first really fast wicket of the, tour and bowled at a genuine express, pace. Against better batsmen there would probably have jbeen better figures as more catches would have gone in the slips. The wicket also suited Merritt, who kept a steady length, and spun the ball sharply. He disguised the googly eu, fectively. The attendance yesterday was five thousand, a record for the ground.
