MAN OF PARTS
The New Zealand leftarm spin bowler, E. K. Gillott, is a man of parts. Gillott is playing his club cricket in Auckland, but is available for the Northern Districts Plunket Shield team. A New Zealand Cricket Council ruling allows a player to be selected for a different shield team than his own, with the permission of the association having first claim on him. But the New Zealand Cricket Council’s board of control has had a letter from the Thames Valley association, questioning Gillett’s eligibility for Franklin in the Hawke Cup competition. Gillott’s parents live in Pukekohe, which is in the Franklin district, but he resides, at least for the working week, in Auckland. The board has decided that Gillott is not eligible for Franklin.
Soccer.— England and Denmark drew, 1-1, in their under 23 international soccer match at Portsmouth. Denmark led 1-0 at half-time.
