CRICKET.
R. NETTLETON ABROAD
PLAYS FOR "AUSTRALIA."
Ray Nettleton, one-time of North i Shore Cricket Club, appears to be keep- I
ing his hand in at Taiping, Malay States, where he has been for the past two years. The visit of an Australian team under Oldfield's captaincy, and that side's defeat by a Malaya team, appears to have boosted cricket in the States, and they are keen on playing "tests" between "England and Australia," the sides being drawn from residents of English and colonial birth. Nettleton took
part in one of these games recently, beingrated as an Australian, and lie made a much-needed stand for his side, contributing 51 runs to an innings that aggregated only 96. The "Australians," by the way, were badly beaten by the English residents, whose reply to the 90 was a total of 232, one player making 140.
