THE INTERPROVINCIAL CRICKET MATCH.

i TO THE EDITOR. | Sic,—As the date of the time-honoured conj test between Otago and Canterbury draws j near, interest in the match grows apace, and discussion is rife among the cricketing fraternity as to the probable result. Canterbury j are expected to be very strong this { year; in fact, the splendid fight they , made with Wellington with what was conj sidered one of the weakest teams ever selected . to represent the province, clearly proves that j Otago will want her very best team to be able ;to hold her own with the sister province. The ! effort of the Selection Committee has been ■ anxiously awaited, and now that the team is ■< picked it has given rise to considerable dissatisfaction (what team did nofc), and the merits of , the various players freely discussed. I am of opinion tbat the team ss a whole jis a good one. Afc the same I would j like to suggest one or two slight altera- | tions, by which I think the playing strength of | the team would be considerably increased. i Haydon has been keeping wickets so well for his \ club that his inclusion in the team was no surf prise. At the same time, he has injured one of j his hands recently, which necessitates his stand- ; ing back from the wickets, and in tho face of a j probable long iocings for Canterbury, and a j possible repetition of the hurfc, it behoves J the Selection Committee to look round for j someone more reliable. Numerous wicketj keepers suggest themselves, bufc I think I prefer Croxford (of fche Dunedin Club), who, . besides being a rare plucked 'un (as Canterbury I know to their cost), has-, been keeping wickets | in quite his old form besides batting considarI ably above the average. The inclusion of a : good slow bowler would be a decided acquisi- ; tion, and I wish fco suggest Howden (of the j Carisbrook), who so distinguished himself on ■ Saturday. He has come on wonderfully of ; late as a slow iob bowler, with a nice leg break, ; and I feel assured he would prove himself in- , valuable on Lancaster Park, although I leave it to the executive to say who shall make way for him.

In conclusion, it behoves Otago to leave no stouo unturned in endeavouring to favourably decide the issue of what is probably the most important fixture that has ever taken place between theae old rivals. — Apologising for encroaching so much on your valuable space, I am, kc, Februarys, WatiWISHEB.
