AUSTRALIAN TEAM FOR N.Z. another withdrawal PESSIMISM ABO I T STRENGTH SYDNEY, February 7. E, McCormick (Victoria) has withdrawn from the cricket team for New Zealand and has been re- ' placed by T. Trembath, of Melbourne, and formerly of Adelaide. c> v. Walker, the South Australian wicketkeepcr, has announced that he will make the trip. The "Labour Daily" says, "By the time the Australian team is completed it will not be recognisable as that originally chosen. It is to be hoped that New Zealand gets a really good, hvst-class side, for the Board of Control owes it to the game to t'oster cricket in its closest sister Dominion. Yet piecemeal selection has never proved a success in the past and New Zealanders cannot feel too optimistic of the strength of the Australian side which will eventually arrive in New Zealand." JARDINE AND THE CAPTAINCY REFUSAL TO MAKE A STATEMENT (OKI'tSO PRP,3B ASSOCIATION— BY XLICTKIO TELEGRAPH—COPYRIGHT.) LONDON, February 7. The Madras correspondent of the ''Star" says that D. R. Jardine refused to make a statement when asked whether ho would captain England or play against the Australians, but the general opinion is that he would accept the captaincy if it were offered to him. Undoubtedly after the trying Indian tour he needs a rest but probably in the interests of English cricket he will carry on. BADCOCK'S CENTURY VICTORIA V. TASMANIA MELBOURNE, February 7. C. L. (Jack) Badcock, who will tour New Zealand, playing for Tasmania against Victoria scored 104 runs in brilliant style. This is his third successive century against Victoria.
