CRICKET

AUSTRALIAN TEAM FOR N.Z. RYDER THE CAPTAIN TKEMBATH'S BOWLING PRAISED (nfITED PRESS ASSOCIATION' —BY ELECTBIC TELEOHAPU— COI'YIUGUT.) SYDNEY, February 8. Jack Ryder will captain the Australian cricket team in New Zealand, V. Y. Richardson having withdrawal. It seems certain that J. H. Fingleton will be asked to fill the position of vice-cap-tain.

The "Telegraph" says: In a sense it wjuM be unwise to bring a retired player like Ryder into such a team, but there are exceptional circumstances, and Ryder, a former Australian ashes team leader, will add more interest to the side and the tour.

The "Labour Daily" says: T. Trembath was chosen for his pace and promise. He has physique as well as pace. He is said to be faster than Theak.

[Now 44 years of age. Jack Ryder, a former captain of Victoria, has been one of the good Australian all-rounders in test cricket. He has played for Australia against England in 17 test matches, and in them has scored 1060 runs, at an average of 44.16, and has taken 13 wickets at a cost of 48.38 runs each, beside being notable as a fieldsman. Ryder's highest score in test cricket was 201 not out, in a match in which he made 88 in the second innings. He is a forcing batsman with a strong defence. Ryder still shows good form in club cricket in Melbourne, but he has not played for Victoria s;nce the 1931-32 season, and his last appearance in test cricket against hngland was in the 1928-29 season.] TASMANIA V. VICTORIA MELBOURNE, February 8. Tasmania, first innings, scored 386, T. Trembath had the best bowling tigures, four for 77. Victoria, second innings, has lost three for 187 (I. Lee not out 102).
