ONLY ONE TEST
NEW ZEALAND'S NEXT TOUR
According "to advice received from England a proposal that New Zealand should bo givc-n thrco Tests during the visit of its team to England next year did not find favour with tho M.C.C. authorities. Dealing with this matter the "Athletic News" states: "Messrs. 11. D. Swan and A. P. F. Chapman, who represent New Zealand on the England Board of Control, met with a surpriso at tho recent meeting of the Board of Control for Test match cricket in England. A team representing the Dominion will bo here in 1931, and it seems to have been expected that Test matches . against the full England strength would bo arranged as in the normal way..
: "So assured of this were the New Zoaland advocates that threo Tests had hot only been provisionally arranged by them but the grounds on which they should bo playod had been allocated. The board, however, had different y v iews. They \vould-not.. contemplate such a disturbance,of domestic cricket as eight Tests in successive- years would cause, apart from which there-was no guarantee that the status of the Now Zoaland team would warrant full-dress Test engagements. Tho recommendation to tho M.C.C. Cricket i Committee is that one Test must suffice."
