CRICKET

TEAM FOR ENGLAND. W. R. PATRICK'S CHOICE. “Wo have soon some wonderful cricket over the holidays,” said W. R. Patrick, the well-known cricketer, ar Christchurch this week. ‘‘T havn honestly novel 1 known it as good. Big semes have been made possible by poor bowling in every side. Neither -Auckland nor Wellington is particularly strong in this department and apart from Cleverlev there was nothing much in it. Oleverley, 1 think, has every chance of getting away with the New Zealand team. Men most likely to figure in the selection are Cleverley. Mills, Weir, Vivian, Allcott (Auckland), Lowry, James, Dempster, (Me. ■Girr, Gallichan (Wellington), Hamilton, Kerr, Page, Merritt. Lester, Talbot, Cromb (Canterbury), Blunt (Otago). “I think the job of the selectors will be fairly easy. A few good men might be left out, but there will be just as good a man go away in any case. Whatever happens they will have a tip-top New Zealand side and one that will benefit wonderfully from the trip. ‘CL don't think that D. J. Me Heath is past getting away. lie is a. slow left-hander and spins them back well from tlie leg. •He would be a great success on 'English wickets.
