NOTES AND NEWS. “Wisden’s” live cricketers of the year are J). G. Bradman, C. V. Griminett", I. A. IL.-Peebles, B. H. Lyons, and M. .1. Turnbull. Many followers of the game in New Zealand will bo surprised at the. inclusion of Turnbull in" the list. .- The editor of Wisdeii’s,” Air. C. Stewart Caine, expresses the opinion that the English committees played, into the 'hands.'of, the Australians by allowing— if net absolutely, urging—groundsmen’s treatment to produco wickets .which placed bowlers at a distinct disadvantage. He hopes that when tliei Australians eoino again, the gviu>j>reparation 'of > pitches will be "abolisliod. 'and a. return made to ' conditions .which allow an even fight between bowle.rs -and batsmen. “By then tbo question of. a h’gger wicket will 110 doubt have' li.eeu settled.” .he says. “Our men- eousenuenilv ..will .nut be called upon tq bowl at a smaller wicket than in other matches; T trust, that Wn have seen the last, of playing, matches to a finish, .however . long they may take. In, normal circumstances four days are sufficient. , . ...
