N.Z. CRICKET TEAM

Welcome to Britain (Aus. & N.Z Cable Assn.) (Recd. April 30 at 7.30 p.m.) , LONDON, April 30. That they will play a care-free kind of cricket and enjoy the game for the I game’s sake, not worrying about the' statistical results, is one of the group ds ' for the “Morning Post’s” welcome to the New Zealand cricketers. The paper adds: “The tour will fit well into a* season of domestic interest, in which we I shall try to forget the psychological! perplexities of the contests for the Ashes, and find an intellectual tonic in i the doings of young players. They need not regard their chances as absolutely a forlorn hope, remembering the vic-! tory of the West Indies in their last I encounter against the triumphant Aus- ! tralian eleven. (Times Cable.) , LONDON, April 30. 1 “The Times” says:—Therie ■would have beep little wonder if the New Zeaand cricket tour had be<‘n aband bned in the face of the preoccupation at H<xme following on the earthquake calamity. The team have* come at cong : derable sacrifice, for which they will be assured of a weleo-ine all the heartier, if such is possible. ’ ’
