New Zealand Comes Up As
English
Cricket Ebbs
London, August 21.
The four drown Test matches between England and New Zealand told cricket fans in Britain several things, among them being that the game in England is at a low ebb as it has ever been, It also told them that the New Zea- länders are fast reaching the top flight and may shortly become rivals to their neighbours, Australia, who remain unassailed as the No. 1 cricketing country in the world today. Both sides were weak in bowling and stronger in batting, which seems to be a general symptom in contemporary cricket.
