W. A. HADLEE SAYS TESTS “COULD HAVE BEEN FINISHED”
LONDON, August 16 (Rec 11 a.m.) —The New Zealand captain, W. A. Hadlee, at the end of the fourth test said in a statement: — “Now that our four test matches have terminated, I do want to place on record my very deep appreciation of the splendid spirit which has prevailed in the England and New Zealand teams. In both F. G. Mann and F. R. Brown England fielded two captains, against whom it has been a real pleasure to play. We have enjoyed the series from the firs' ball to the last. “To many cricket lovers the fact that no definite result was achieved
in three days is ho doubt unsatisfactory. Nevertheless, a close examination of the situation which prevailed at certain times in each one of the four tests will reveal that all four could have been finished had a temporary advantage that accrued to one team or the other been implemented. All in all, a very happy and enjoyable series.”
