Cromb & Merritt SPORTS SPECIALISTS 110 CASHEL STREET such as to justify the granting of Test matches in future tours, the New Zealanders winning 13 out of the 38 matches played, losing only five, and drawing 20. The Board of Control of Test Matches at Some in this case took no risks. New Zealand was to be placed "on probation" in 1931—if the tourists made a good showing in their single Test they would no doubt receive fuller recognition in the future; if the match proved a debacle little harm would have been done. In this attitude the Board were quite justified, for, quite apart from the expense involved, many counties are greatly inconvenienced by having to relinquish the services of their best players during the playing of a Test match. Referring to the challenge of interest that the visits of overseas teams offer to the county championship, "Wisden" says: "At the moment purely domestic cricket can hold its own in public interest with that produced by New Zealand or the West Indies, but in the ordinary nature of things the game in those far-away lands will steadily improve, and it is not difficult to imagine a time when every summer a challenge to the reputation of English cricket will dominate the home season and bring with it the excitement that now attaches only to an Australian tour in this country. "In such circumstances county clubs, able to depend upon a regular and substantial income from their shares of Test match proceeds, may be free from the anxieties that in these times trouble so many of them, but what will be the fate of the battle for the championship? Interest in a competition must suffer when leading aspirants to first honours have to forgo in a third or more of their engagements the services of some of their best men. The danger, no doubt, is not yet, but it appears to be an inevitable outcome of modern developments, and will have to be grappled with by the authorities." Thus it will be seen that such an honour as New Zealand has received in the match to-day is granted reluctantly, and all enthusiasts in the Dominion look to their representatives in the Homeland to justify, in the match at Lord's, the confidence of those administrators who, while owing it to their own public and players to protect their interests, yet have the good of the game in the Dominions overseas very near their hearts.
