VERY ORDINARY SIDES

But Wellington Should Be Too Strong For Otago (From "N.Z. Truths Special Wellington, Representative). Although Wellington will not field its strongest eleven against Otago '.'next week, the home side should score a win.

THE principal defections from* the Wellington team as originally selected are Worker, McKenzie ' and Baker, and these three players certainly would be of great value on the .tour.'' •. ' ',■-' "> Taking V the team- by and large, it has all-round strength. Dempster, F^oley, Dowry, ' Badcock. Lamason and Galllchan are all capable of making large scbres', while McGirr, Henderson, Rothei'ham and Badcock would keep any first-class batting side busy chasing runs. ■ 7:,-. 7. But, like the Canterbury. batting, the Wellington bowling appears Vjust a- little bit "iffy" m parts. . i Badcock is m excellent form, and he has shown/ himself to be really dangerous during, the season. Every cricketer hopes that McGirr will be at the top of his form by tlie time' Wellington', meets Canterbury— still, it is doubtful whether the Hutt. player will be a success. Galllchan'. -will, provide the slows. His left-hand- deliveries will add variety to the attack' should it be necessary to try. him at the crease. It would be hard to find two better opening batsmen anywhere m New Zealand than Dempster and Foley; *he Institute players. i Otago will find that they will take just as much effort to separate as they did last year, and possibly a little bit moreV . : 'Without -"-Dick -Torrance, Dickinson and Shepherd, Otago will be like 7a. team without punch. Blunt has not recovered his form ahd some of the

younger players have yet to prove themselves. •-......* Galland should be hard to shift, though, while Pro. Eastman may provide some unexpected brilliance.. • BACKACHE! WHY?
