SIX WICKET WIN

COUNTY’S VICTORY N.Z. v. GLAMORGAN Welshman’s Devastating Bowling (From the special correspondent of the United Press Association with the team). (Received 10.50 a.m.) Cardiff, May IS. In the cricket match, Glamorgan versus New Zealand, Glamorgan, won by six wickets. New Zealand in the first innings scored 235, and in the second, 190. Glamorgan in the first innings scored 338, and in the second 90 for 4, declared. There were 3000 spectators to-day. The weather was fine, and the wicket exxcellent. A striking illustration of the effect of i lack of net and mlatch practice, caused by the rain last week in London, was provided* when 'tne New Zealanders, except Moloney and Tindill, fell quick victims to the offi-spin round the wicket bowling of Jones, who took three for 36 before lunch, and three for five after iunch, maintaining accurate length throughout. Tindill, Vivian and Dunning were all caught at silly point. Moloney played confidently in an attractive innings of two and a half hours, his fine driving and hooking yielding seven fours. He and Tindill added 78 for the fifth wicket, in an hour and a quarter, the latter scoring slowly, but soundly. Lamason began promisingly, falling when he appeared to be settling down. It was a useful innings. Steady bowling compelled the County to take over an»hour and ahailj r to score the required runs. Glamorgan now has the unusual record of beating New Zealand, South Africa, India and the West Indies, and losing only once to Australia, since the Great War. BOWLING AND FIELDING PRAISED Revival Of “Donkey Drop” Press Association—Copyright. Cardiff, May 18. Several critics praise the New Zealand bowling and fielding, which kept the scoring down to a run a minute on what many consider the best batting- wicket in England. The Cardiff Mail says that an outstanding feature of the match was Moloney’s successful revivlal of the old-time “donkey drop,” .assisted! by the “swift serenity” of the stumpings by Tindill.
