ONE-DAY CRICKET
TO THE EDITOR Sir.—With reference to one-day cricket and its control, it should be oointed out that' quite a number of nlayerg and at least three senior team captains in Christchurch favour a division of time. A majority of the Canterbury Cricket Association opposes this slight proposed change on various grounds. These may be solid grounds, but yet the fact remains that the time for the second team to bat in any match is always fixed—fixed by the first team to bat. and often to the disadvantage of the second team. If the time were equally divided, both teams would have a fair chance of making the runs, and the game would have more of a sporting nature. At least, the experiment is worth tryinghut the Canterbury Association will not unbend, even for one friendly match. That. I think, weakens its position and detracts from its arguments.—l am. etc.. Ex-Otago Enthusiast.
