Cricket Tour
"We read that the New Zealand cricket team, having finished a pretty gruelling match against Rhodesia on Tuesday, was to drive 150 miles the next day for a twoday country game, and then be at Salisbury on Saturday for a return match against Rhodesia. How on earth can any touring side, whether football or cricket, be expected to exhibit, still lees maintain, its beet form when' subjected to these grossly overcrowded programmes, to say nothing of inevitable casualties and stance climatic and other conditions? If Reid, probably still one of the finest all-rounders playing the game anywhere, and his merry men, who seem to have most of what it takes to make a thoroughly competent and very sporting side, manage to win even one of the test matches, they will have acquitted themselves far more creditably than some folk, perhaps, may be willing to admit"—lLAM.
