INTER-STATE CRICKET SURE, SAYS HEYDON
"Some form of inter-State cricket this season is certain," said Mr. Harold Heydon, N.S.W.C.A. secretary, at Sydney early this week. "The nature of the matches and their duration must be decided," he said. "Four-day matches, however, seem out of the question." Mr. Heydon said that plans may have to exclude South Australia. But for South Australia's independent stand, Sheffield Shield cricket may have been reinstated. New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland favoured it. Conference Soon As most of the South Australian players are engaged in war work their association is in favour only of big matches during holiday periods. , A programme could be arranged for South Australia to play their matches at Christmas, New Year and Anniversary Day. A conference to decide Inter-State cricket this season may be held soon. Sydney is the logical venue, and one delegate from each association would attend.
