New Zealand 1927–28

[edit]

The New Zealand team that touredEngland in the 1927 season played one first-class match against New South Wales in late October on their way back to New Zealand. After a fairly successful tour of England, and in the light of theImperial Cricket Conference decision in 1926 to extendTest cricket to new teams outside the existing triumvirate of England, Australia and South Africa, the New Zealanders were keen for international experience.

The match inSydney did not help their cause. New South Wales scored 571 at more than two runs a minute.Bill Merritt, the bowling star of the England tour, took five wickets in just over 23 overs, but they came at a cost of 218 runs. For the state side,Jack Gregory,Tommy Andrews,Alan Kippax andArchie Jackson all scored centuries. The New Zealanders scored 286 and 292 in reply, many batsmen getting a good start but no one exceedingRoger Blunt's first-innings 63. New South Wales needed eight to win and all the runs came in byes or leg-byes. The game was the first-class debut ofBill O'Reilly: he took three wickets.^[1]

England 1928–29

1st Test atBrisbane Exhibition Ground – England won by 675 runs
2nd Test atSydney Cricket Ground – England won by 8 wickets

The team was captained byArthur Gilligan and includedFrank Woolley,Duleep andStan Nichols.
