"A FINE SIDE"
CILLIGAN'S IMPRESSIONS
'"I could- never hope to captain a bettor set of fellows than those who went-out with me. They played as a team, and that- was the secret of success," said Mr. A. 11. 11. Gilligan, captain of the, M.C.C. team which toured New Zealand, on his arrival at Southampton, reports the "Manchester Guardian." '/Everybody has come home fit and well. We have had a wonderful tour, and some very interesting cricket. The New Zealand cricketers are going ahead, and when they come, over here next., year they will have a fine side. Many of ■ them do noi have a chance of playing cricket properly, except in big matches. Take, for instance, Tom Lowry, the captain, without whom no New Zealand team would be complete. >* He is sheep farming, and the only practicp he can get is on matting ;over a concrete wicket at his own place. , ......
"When we played in Australia we met all the young, members "of their side, and were greatly impressed by Braclman and Jackson." !
