TPkr Press Association.! WELLINGTON, March 29

c The second test match, Australia v. New Zealand, was concluded this afternoon, Australia winning by 162 runs. The attendance at the third day’s P'lay was very meagre, only £33 being taken at the gates, making a total for the Three days of £325. The Australians s, proved vastly superior to the New Zealand'representatives, their fielding and running between wickets showing that (much had to be learned by our cricketers in these departments alone. Sale, ’Reese, Sims and Brice all did well throughout the match. Taken generally, the New Zealand batting was mostly of a scratchy order, the only : two men having any confidence being Brice and Sims p though (Sale was doing 'nicely when given out to a doubtful ►qatch behind the wickets. Brice’s inn- , ings of 43 was a clean, crisp exhibition of hard hitting, the majority of his runs being scored along the, carfpet. The visitors’ batting was quite of 'fa different order to that of the local (men,- 'Plenty of confidence, a variety df strokes, and knowledge where to put the ball were the outstanding features '(Of both their innings. Mayne’s innings . 'of 9D was a fine display of patient /cricket. He displayed 'a thorough ,’knowledge of the game, making some J beautiful strokes on the off side. His ( placing and turning were features of ij’.nLs innings. Facey and Wkittv share * £the bowling honors of the match. _ The Matter's average of six wickets for 8 Tuns was remarkably g-cod. Whitty bawled consistently all through the innings. i ’ The Australian eleven is to leave for f Napier on Thursday and is to play /Hawke’s Bay on Friday, Saturday and i; Monday.
