CRICKET.

A.C.fl. REASON.

ALL GRADES TO-MORROW.

WEN3LEY MAKES HIS DEBUT.

The Auckland cricket season, in all grades, will be in full swing to-morrow for the first time this season. In the senior grade the third series of matches will be commenced, three of them being played at Eden Park, where the Sussex professional player, A. F. Wenslej', will be with the Parnell team for his first appearance in New Zealand cricket. It will be at the grandstand Avicket, which is being used for the first time this season, that»Wenslev will be in action, for Parnell plays United Suburbs on that area. Eden and Grafton will play on No. 2 wicket, and University and Y.M.C.A. on the No. 3 pitch. North Shore will play Ponsonby at Devonport.

Much will depend on the weather and the state of the wickets. At the moment it appears certain that 'the wickets will be soft, but whether or not they will be in the drying stage, which makes a field day for bowlers, remains to be seen.
