A SPLENDID RECOVERY, ROUND THE WORLD GANDHI'S VISIT TO
DEMPSTER'S BRILLIANT CENTURY.
NEW ZEALAND DECLARE AT 469 FOR NINE WICKETS.
{THROUGH EXTER'S AGENOT.]
London, June 201 After a somewhat indifferent start in their second innings, a' crowd of 24,000 were present to see New Zealand-mako a mar- vellous recovery and between Dempster and Weir they carried the score to 100 for 9 when the latter was bowled by Allen. The part- nership lasted two hours and ten minutes during which time the spectators were treated to some really free cricket.. Weir's con- tribution was: 40.
Pago, the Canterbury man, then filled the breach and "carried" on the good work with Dempster until the score was taken to 101 for 2. Then the new-comer had 31 to his credit while Dempster's" contribution · stood at B6, both men being not out. Amer kept wicket in excellent manner, only letting go four extras up till the time stumps were drawn.
DEMPSTER'S THOUSAND RUNS.
London, June 30.
The day was fine and the wicket good when the third day's play in the Test match opened before a crowd of 10,udo.
Dempster and Page, the overnight not outs, were given a good övation as they walked out to resume the innings.":
Adding three runs to his overnight score, Dempster was given a hearty round of applause as he then completed his thousand runs for the season. He batted confidently and banged Robina to the ropes to send up his 100 after he had been playing for 201 minutes. The pair had by this time become thoroughly settled.. down and Page got his half-century after he had been at the "Wicket for one hour and thirty-fivo. minutes. The next ball saw Dempster's dismissal. Given the new ball, Hammond beat him with a beautiful delivery and, so his innings come to ari end after " two hundred and thirty minutes. During that time he collected. 128. ruas, in the course of which he found the boundary on ten ouca. sions. The "telegraph " now rend 218-3-120.
Blunt joined Page, but at the start was very uncomfortable against the England attack. However, he played careful cricket and between him and his partner, they began to wear down the bowling. Taking into consideration that they were playing on uphill game, the rate of scoring was quite fair and the 300 was hoisted after play had, been in progress for as many minutes. The new-comer got his fifty, after he had been at the wicket eighty- five minutes; meanwhile Page was by no means idle and when play was adjourned for lunch he was only one short of the magical three Agures while his partner had 66-349 for 3.
PAGE PLAYS FAULTLESS INNINGS. Shortly after the lunch interval Pago was caught and bowled by Peebles when his score stood at 104. The partnership between Page and Blunt added 142 runs in 110 minutes-380 for 4 wickets..
Page played a chanceless innings hitting to leg fifteen fours. Kerr was 1.b.w, to Peebles' next ball-300 for 5 wickets..
Cromb did not stay long at the wicket and when he had just entered double figures he was caught by Voce off Robins 389 for 0 wickets,
Blunt, who had played a careful, innings, was caught and bowl. ed by Peebles from a rising ball when he had scored 98-404, for 7 wickets,
4
Merritt, who did not seem at all comfortable, was bowled by Peebles when he had scored 5 run 400 for 8 wickets.
Lowry and Allcott played carefully and carried the score to 469 when Lowry was bowled by Peebles.
The New Zealand. Captain then declared the innings closed at 480 for nine wickets. Allcott being not out for 20 and Mr. "Extras" being responsible for 35.
