CRICKET.
THE NEW ZEALAND TEAM. FOURTEEN MEN ONLY. CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. The following statement was made by Mr A. T. Donnelly {.chairman of the New Zealand Cricket Council) yesterday : “At the request of the Auckland Cricket Association, the committee of the New Zealand Cricket Council has again considered the question of sending a 15th man, and have re-affirmed the decision, that the team shall consist of 14 men. The committee is fortified in this decision by the fact that it had previously consulted T. C. Lowry, M. L. Page and C. S. W. Allcott, who all strongly advised that the team should lie limited to 14 men. It has to he remembered that Lowry is a first-class wicket-keeper, and can act as second wicket-keeper if required. The 15th man in the last Australian eleven was C. W. Walker, second wicket-keeper, who played in comparatively few matches on the tour.”
