FIVE MORE NEEDED
A correspondent ("Umpire") writes: — "I wish to voice my opinion on the forthcoming English tour by our cricketers. With all these letters, and looking through the tour of Australia by the M.C.C. team, I cannot see how. the tour is going to be a success with only fourteen members in the team. Looking at the itinerary I can see there will be many injured and stale men by the time it is three-quarters the way through, and I should like to say that the selectors should include at least five more members to the list, namely K. F. M. Uttley, N. Gallichan, A. M. Matheson. J. Lamason, and J. A. K. Blandford. Without these men New Zealand will be hopelessly at sea and with them they will undoubtedly give England a good fight in the Tests. In j having men fresh and fit the team;
will be able to keep the standard of New Zealand well up in the world of sport."
