Lucrative cricket tour
The New Zealand Cricket Council certainly needed the lucrative Rothmans tour by Australia last season. With-/ out the tour, and its profit of ?90,000, the council would have faced a heavy loss of $104,000 for the year. Instead, there is the less disastrous figure of under $13,000 to show for the year, though the council’s assets now stand at nearly half a
million dollars. More than $717,000 was taken on the Australian tour, all but $BO,OOO at the gate and allowances to both the Australian and New Zealand teams amounted to more than $164,000, nearly $147,000 of it to the visitors. The council’s two junior “developmental” bodies both showed profits. The national coaching committee had a
surplus of $4OOO and the % Junior Cricket Board one of I* $2300. . «, The two Shell competitions >,* were tightly budgeted. The '•< first-class matches for the. .] Shell Trophy realised a loss ’ • ’ of $10,327; the one-day Cup * competition a profit of * $10;440. The princely sum of ' - $ll3 was distributed to asso- •* ciations! '«
