Date-stamped : 27 May95 - 18:23
Tour match: M.C.C. v NEW ZEALANDERS
Played at Lord's, 11-13 May 1927.

Result: Match drawn.

Opposed by a powerful amateur side, the New Zealanders fully held
their  own  in a drawn match, which yielded over 1,500 runs.  The
tourists accomplished a particularly good performance, after los-
ing  four  wickets  for  106, in heading the M.C.C.`s total by 68
runs.  In doing so, they owed much to Dacre who, hitting away  in
delightful style, made 107 in which were twenty 4s in an hour and
a half.  Lowry, too, batted with refreshing  freedom,  if  giving
two  chances,  and  Blunt played well in each innings.  Missed at
slip when 1, Titchmarsh afterwards showed great skill and  judge-
ment  for four hours, and stayed until the score reached 343.  In
Marylebone`s second innings, Titchmarsh and Lyon put on 188,  and
Allen and Ashton 194.
