LIMIT COUNTY CRICKET.
GILLIGAN’S .VIEW. LONDON, June 14. Qilligan, contributing to the controversy in the Evening Nows, endorses B, J. T. Bosanquet’s opinion that, owing to eaoli county’s lengthy programme few amateurs can afford the time to play cricket regularly. “The time has come,” writes Gilligan, “to either limit county cricket to a single innings or put the firstclass counties into two equal divisions. When an English team visits Australia our fixtures are made regardless of their interstate matches. We are always considered of the first importance. Is this the case when the Australians visit England ? I think net, because there is too much county cricket with which the authorities will net interfere.”
