CRICKET
LIMITLESS TESTS. CHAMPMAN’S OPINIONS. Wellington, March 23. A. P. F.‘ Chapman, captain of the English cricketers, is against the excessive length of test matches. In the course of an interview he said: “I think the time should be cut down to five days. In the event of a finish being possible time might be extended to lunch on the sixth day. That should be ample.” He had expressed the opinion before leaving Australia that limitless tests severely taxed the players’ strength and did not produce the best cricket. The eight-ball over was also considered by him to be a strain, no matter what the climate. White, the vice-captain, is also opposed to long tests, but Ryder the Australian captain, believes in plkying them out. TO PLAY CENTRA H.B. The following have been chosen to represent the Scinde Cricket Club against Central Hawke’s Say on Easter Saturday and Monday next, play to commence at Nelson Park on Saturday at 10.30 a.m.: Bradburn, Cane, Fitzwater, Hughes (captain), J. C. O'Brien, J.. J. O’Brien, C. Pell, G. Pell, Ryan, Signal!, Tye'rs, Yarwood.
