Collapse

Against

Surrey On An Easy Wicket

London, July 30, Another dreadful collapse by the Now Zealanders, followed by a brilliant innings from Peter May placed Surrey in a dominating position at the Oval in the match between the two teams today,

The New Zealanders were shot out for 54 in two hours before lunch and Surrey finished 148 ahead with six wickets left. May was 62 not out.

In their first game at the Oval, Surrey dismissed them for 74 and 51 and there remains the feeling that their collapses are as much mental as physical.

Certainly today there was | Alabaster, May reached 50 in 58 little in the conditions to justify minutes, and in just under an such a breakdown.
