STATISTICS OF THE TOUR.

Two indeppndcnticontributors —Mr. A. R. Barker; of tho Audit Ofiico, AVelliiig- t ton, -arid Mr. A. E. Beswick, ofPalmor- j ston have compiled interesting end-full statistics of. the orickot , tour, iii Now Zealand,. alid for- , ward those for publication. As was ( naturally to be expected tho accounts | of' matches from some of tho smaller j centre's failed to , indicato exactly how ■ lnarijr t>l "the Aiistraliari runs were ."ex- , liibition runs," i.e./ runs compiled , after .] a match happened to be won. For that 1 reason probably the averages as worked - oiit by independent compilers differ a ] llttlo, but both sufficiently ■agree-to'giyo ( an interesting idea, of what the form ] was liko during the tour. A number of , other statisics, wliioh irero forwarded \ with the averages and also interesting , notes by these contributors will bo in- j corporated , iii Thk Dominion's cricket notes on Saturday.) The following is Mr. BesTvick's list of averages:— Batting Averages. "■■■'■•'-: m ■ ■ -■. • ■ . ■„• . Name - . . .../ I j iJ. I ■■■■• '■■'■ ■■• ■■••■.! S'l'l i V. Trumper ..: 16 293 0 1261 78.912 J.
