Profit of Sl0.000
t.V.Z Press Assn — Copyright) MELBOURNE. The New Zealand cricket tour of Australia would produce a profit for New Zealand of at least $lO,OOO said the team manager, Mr R. A. Vance, at the end of the tour yesterday. Added to this would be a share of the gate-takings from the Gillette Cup knock-out tournament. “This is a better result than New Zealand expected,” said Mr Vance. “We were prepared not to make any money on this half of the twin tour.” “Some Australian officials don’t expect Australia to make money in New Zealand during their coming tour, but I think they will. “I feel that the Australians will be one of the most attractive sides we have seen in New Zealand. “The test series should attract great interest, espcially as we will be in a stronger position in our own country. We will be playing on our own pitches, and the matority of our test players, having played against the Australians, won’t have the slight feeling of apprehension we sometimes suffer from when going into tests against touring sides.”
