M.C.C. Tour
Per Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, Last Night. The New Zealand Cricket Council officials decline to comment concerning the controversy over the M.C.C. tour. Their attitude, it is believed, is to avoid adding fuel to the fire. A “'Sticky” Response The negotiations for the M.C.C. team visiting Australia next season to extend its tour to New Zealand were referred to in a letter received recently by tho New Zealand Cricket Council from Mr. A. Sims, the council’s representative in England. “At the present moment,’’ wrote Mr. Sims, “the English cricket authorities are making strenuous efforts to arrange that the English team visiting Australia next year shall return via New Zealand. 1 am afraid, even judged from the most charitable point of view, that the Australian Board’s response is at the very least ‘sticky.’ Indeed, in view of all the facts, I have never experienced a similar determination on tho part of any sporting body to refuse to meet a repeated and reasonable request, against the granting of which no reason whatever can be produced.’’
