J.M. Kilburn cricket journalist and author. ‘England v New Zealand’. Five page handwritten manuscript for an article written by Kilburn for the Yorkshire Post. The article is undated, but Kilburn is reporting on the first day’s play in the 1st Test, England v New Zealand at Trent Bridge, 7th June 1973, in which England ‘ran into heavier weather than the elements offered’ in their first innings, closing the first day having ‘struggled to a painstaking at 216 for nine wickets’. With the first wicket falling at 92, Boycott and Amiss had ‘provided the foundation for a handsome total and the superstructure was grimly unimpressive’. England went on to make 250, then bowled out New Zealand cheaply for 97, and ultimately won by 38 runs. Corner torn from first page, otherwise in good condition.
