THE - AUSTRALIAN TEAM.

'According to reports from Australia. Wopdfull and Blackie will be doubtful etarters in tho Australian team to tour New Zealand. If Woodfull cannot travel, New Zealanders will be unfortunate in view of the following remarks by “Not Out” in the Keferee J - * When W. M. Woodfull visited New Zealand with the Victorian team, in 1924-25, he was the star rungetter, scaring. 897 runs at an average of 148 per innings, his scores including 212, 110. 150, 115. In 13 innings he was not out seven times. In tiie two Tests with New Zealand, he scored 110, 50, and 150 without getting out. New Zealanders were impressed by, his defence at that time. “ The most difficult batstnan in the world to shift.’’ is how one chap put it to me. This time they will find W. M. quite an attractive batsman. He is vastly improved in the last three seasons. Once he batted with dead wrists that is, practically. But it is doubtful if any batsman in first-class cricket in Australia now makes better use of his .Wrists in whipping the ball away. Woodfull, on his first appearance against Essex at Levton, went in with C. G. Macartney. He had the pleasure of watching that brilliant young man from the other end in an amazingly delightful partnership. After a while Woodfull began to make the shots with Macartney crispness and' daring, and he topped 200 in the innings. After that he never looked back, even in the murkiest weather, when his fellow Melbournian. W. H. Ponsford, was beginning to feel effects of the cold and the incessant rain. To-day. in my view, "Woodfull is one of the world’s four or five best batsmen on fast, true wickets, and on all wickets one of the two best, if not actually the best, in first-class cricket. He is essentially a team cricketer, a fielder who is all out to bring down the other fellow. The selectors decided that the interests bf Australian cricket would be best served by choosing as the backbone of the team the very best men, and to fill it up from the younger brigade of what might be called “test match possibilities” (says a Melbourne writer). Thus, the absence of such names as J. Ryder, H. L. Hendry, T. J. E. Andrews, and A. A. Mailey is not to be taken as anything more than the desire of the selectors to give younger men an opportunity of gaining experience. The inclusion of F. L. Morton seems to indicate that he is a possibility for the position of fast bowler in the test matches next year. A tour such as that through New Zealand should improve him physically as well as a bowler. The form of R. M'Namee, the Sydney bowler, and of R. K. Oxenham, the Queensland all-rounder, will be watched with keen interest. The inclusion of K. Schneider will give satisfaction to Victorians. Mr ,W. C. Bull will be manager. Aecoridng to report. “ Billy ” Bull, honorary secretary of the Balmain District Cricket Club, member of the N.S.W.C.A. executive, and delegate to the 'Australian Board of Control, has been appointed manager of the Australian team to New Zealand in Februaw f S nv« the Sydney Daily Telegraph). The managerselect has a splendul record, tins being his sixteenth year as secretary’ of his club, and as a member of the association. During the absence in England of Mr Smith, Mr Bull acted as honorary secretary of the Board of Control, so' that he should have special knowledge of-its workings. The last team to New Zealand was managed by Mr T. Howard, so that this State is having a good spin.

THE TOUR OF ENGLAND

The report of Mr A. Sims, the London Representative of the New Zealand Cricket Council, on the New Zealanders’ tour was as follows: —

“ You will have plenty of evidence that they made a very great impression here. They took up the strategic position of saying they had come Home to- learn the game, and consequently when the, failed, and unfortunately this latter was very prevalent in their fielding, the public were ready to make plenty of excuses for them, and when they did well, this fact also spoke for itself. You can rest assured that their batting was fully up to first-class standard. It needed only one crack international bat to have made them equal to the best county side in England. They were certainly the most attractive to look at.

“ Their medium bowlers struck the public as very ordinary, and certainly not first-class. Fortunately, however, Blunt and Merritt were more equal to the occasion. I think your council should pay tribute to the courage of the selectors in picking Merritt with few or no performances. It was a bold act which .was only justified by its success. • “ ¥ D’ckinson had retained his former speed he would have been a decided improvement. Cunningham, who I thought would do very well, never looked a-bowler It was pathetic when a man like Hendeen was pulling him to see him try to meet the occasion by endeavouring to bowl faster and bowling shorter. “Of the fielding the less said the I could never have credited that any New Zealand representative team would have so regularly missed catches. There is httle doubt that the result of many of the opening games would have been in the team s favour but for this However, you can rest assured that the team more than fulfilled expectations. They were probably 30 per cent, better the day they left England than the day fi ai ’ r J Ve M and 1 s,lould say that at the finish they would have some claim Jon h a Tr ne f t ?i ev WO ” kl be wel ' i'P o" the ietiiion ° f f countes in a county com- “ They are a young team, and when thev co ™ e Dome «l? ain in four years’ time thev will nave plenty of seasoned players accustomed to English wickets, etc.,' which is * asset Ihpy have not' had the benefit during the initial tour. Alarylebone

are willing to arrange three test matches for them next time they come -Home and 1 think you only want a second trip to establish cricket on a pretty high grade in New Zealand.

" The gate takings were, 1 take it, very disappointing. You will see from the papers, however, that you struck one of the worst July and Augusts that have been experienced here for many a year. It is estimated that half the counties will have to make special efforts to meet the liabilities incurred during the past season, and to enable them to carry on next year.”

NOTES.

As the Grange executive has no definite record of when the club was formed it has decided to postpone its jubilee celebrations until next year to be on the safe side.

R. Read, the Canterbury bowler, has joined the select band of bowlers who have taken a hundred wickets in Plunket Shield matches. His hundredth victim was T. C. Lowry, whose wicket he obtained in the match between Canterbury and Wellington. At the conclusion of the Wellington match Read’s total was 102 wickets, and he increased that number in the game against Auckland to 111. W. S. Brice has also taken over 100 wickets in Plunket Shield games.

The Sydney Referee makes the following comparison between the figures of Ponsford and Kippax in Sheffield Shield games:—

What would Victorians not give to have had Clarrie Grimmett in their State team during the past three or four seasons? asks an Australian writer. The little New -.(’or, vr|v wnc 1 v ovprlooked by the Victorian selector, has cerUa»n tnu.de yood since taKirig up n»& residence in Adelaide, but he has done few finer things than his eight for 57 in the second innings of New South Wales last week. The particular merit of the feat lay in the fact that it was performed just when it was needed, and undoubtedly contributed more than anything else to the New South Wales defeat by one wicket. Grimmett is also shining with the bat, and appears to be developing into an allrounder. This is the fifth time that a South Australian bowler has taken eight wickets in an innings against New South Wales. George Giffen did it in each innings of the match at Adelaide in 1894-5, and again in one innings at Adelaide in 1899-1900; while Ernie Jones did it at Sydney in 1896-7. The feat has been performed five times for New South Wales—by J. J. Ferris, M. Pierce, T. M'Kibbin (twice), and A. A. Mailey.

MARYLEBONE First Innings.

Holmes, not out _ 23 Sutcliffe, not out 17 The weather was fine after overnight rain, but the wicket, which had been covered, was easy. South Africa, winning the toss for the third time in succession, batted. Taylor - was dismissed early, and the South Africans stonewalled. Play brightened after lunch, but the superb bowling of Staples, whose average at one stage was three for 16, kept the South Africans on the defensive. The Deane-Nupen partnership was exhilirating, Nupen in one over scoring 20. Deane played attractively, scoring mostly behind the wicket. Marylebone commenced luckily, Holmes escaping, though he gave two chances, one before he scored and the second when he had made 14.

NEW SOUTH WALES TEAM.

ALLOWANCES TO PLAYERS.

SYDNEY, January 17. At the monthly meeting of the New South Wales Cricket Association the question of allowances of players to tour New Zealand was discussed. It was stated that the Victorian Association had considered the granting of separate allowances to its players, and it was decided to instruct the New South Wales delegates to the Board of Control to take immediate action to prevent any State association making a separate allowance

to individual members of the team, and to request the board to consider an increase of its allowance —namely, to make it 25s daily while the team is absent from Australia.

SHEFFIELD SHIELD MATCH.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA v. QUEENSLAND.

BRISBANE, January 17. South Australia in their first innings made 505 (Grimmett 6Q, M'Kay not out 36). Hornibrook took two for 123, Amos three for 127, and Nothling two for 59. Queensland in their second innings have lost fi ve f°r 188 (Thompson not out 59, O Connor not out 54). Ihe weather was fine and the wicket good. The South Australians’ scoring rate was painfully slow, and dreary cricket continued until the luncheon interval, when the southerners were dismissed. ’ The Queensland batsmen opened their second innings carefully, but the bowling of the visitors was too good and wickets fell rapidly, until Thompson and O Connor became associated. Failing light caused a cessation of play early.

BRISBANE, January 18. Queensland in their second innings made 351 (Thompson 93, O’Connor not out 133). Scott took four for 71 and Grimmett three for 98. South Australia won outright by an innings and 11 runs.

The weather was fine and the wicket still good, but the cricket was very dull, the rate of scoring being slower even than that of the previous day. Towards the close of the innings O’Connor livened up, and made several good boundary shots, otherwise the innings was colourless.

OMISSION OF INVERCARGILL RESENTED.

INVERCARGILL, January 17. Tiie Southland Cricket Association at its meeting to-night voiced strong disapproval at not being allocated a match against the visiting Australian team and passed the following resolution: — “ That this association records its strong protest against the action -of the New Zealand Cricket Council in omitting Invercargill from the list of towns where matches are to be played by the Australian team during its forthcoming visit to New Zealand, and points out further that there can be no adequate reason for ignoring the claims of Southland, which from the point of view, of district population and of that of its capital town should have surely been one of the first places included. This association draws attention to the fact that two matches are to be played in Dunedin, and one each at Oamaru and Ashburton, which is grossly unfair when they are arranged at the expense of Southland cricket. This association fee& that it is not too late for the present injustice to be remedied and trusts that the council will immediately do the right thing by including Invercargill in the itinerary of the forthcoming tour, especially in view of the fact that in the past this association has loyally stood by the council and at considerable expense to itself has helped to finance previous tours.”

AUCKLAND REQUESTS ALTERATION. AUCKLAND, January 18. The Management Committee of the Auckland Cricket Association has decided to ask the New Zealand Cricket Council if possible to arrange the match Auckland* v. Australia so as to enable Bowley and Langridge to take part, prior to - their departure from Auckland on March 17; otherwise tho gate would be seriously affected.

A STRONG TEAM ASSURED. ADELAIDE, January 19. The secretary of the Board of Cricket Control announces that 12 of the 13 members of the team invited to tour New Zealand have accepted'.

OTAGO v. WELLINGTON.

HOME TEAM’S MODEST TOTAL,

In ideal cricket weather and on an excellent wicket, the Plunket Shield match between Otago and Wellington was begun at Carisbrook on Friday. When Otago won the toss and had first use of a batsman’s wicket it appeared that they would make a good stand, but the wickets began to fall early, and the innings closed for 155. though the side was weakened by the absence of Eastman, Alloo, and Shepherd, it still appeared to have some batting strength, and it was a disappointment to Otago supporters when the local men went out for so modest a score.

Galland, who was top scorer with 55, played a fine innings when it was badly needed. When he went in, Otago had lost four wickets for 77 runs, but his team’s position made the Grange captain no less confident, and from the start his batting was lively. With well-judged and wellplaced shots he rattled on the runs in quick time, his total including nine fours. His partnership with Dickinson was the brightest shot of the innings. Blunt was in his best form in scoring 43. He collected his runs all round tho wicket in bright style, his total including four fours.

The outstanding bowler was M‘Girr, who took five wickets for 81 runs. He maintained his length and pace right through the innings, and the batsmen could take few .liberties with him. Badcock, who took two for 39, swung away dangerously, and Massey, who was not used a great deal sent up five good overs at the start. Altogether, however, the bowling seemed to be hardly as difficult as the batting made it appear.

Otago’s hopes ran high when Worker went out after Wellington had scored only four runs, but Badcock and Foley adopted safety tactics, and it was not long before they had the bowling collared. FoTey who is undefeated with 97, played a bright and stylish innings, scoring a large proportion of his runs on the leg side and Badcock batted gracefully for 77 before he was caught. He hit powerfully at anything loose, and scored quickly when he became set. Lamason, who was run out after scoring 31, shaped confidently and scored his runs in workmanlike style shot nty ° f " IS rUUS came from boundary Wellington are in the strong position of having lost only three wickets for 229 runs.

At no stage did the Otago bowling appear difficult. None of the bowlers got any work on the ball, and as they received no assistance from the wicket it was necessary only to play correct shots to score runs. The match was well attended, f5O being taken at the gate. Donoghue replaced Taylor in the Wellington team, as the -Nelson coach was suffering from influenza.

VISITORS’ STRONG POSITION.

Conditions favoured the batsmen w’hen the Plunket Shield match between Otago and ellington was resumed at Carisbrook on Saturday. A misty rain had fallen earlier in the morning, making the ball greasy, though the wicket was not affected. The Wellington batsmen took advantage of the opportunity and replied to Otago’s first innings score of 155 with the large total of 488. In the morning and the early part of the afternoon, even making allowances for the state of the ball, the Otago bowling and fielding was far from good, and the batsmen reaped a rich harvest of runs. They had no seed to take risks, and they waited for the loose balls, of which there were plenty, and Otago followers had to be content to see the visitors’ score steadily mounting. Towards the end of the innings, however, Douglas i.as able to turn the ball, and a much larger score was averted.

Foley, who was not out with 97 when nlay was resumed, reached 136 by steady batting. He well deserved his runs, playing a patient and chanceless innings. Lowry, who had 10 to his credit at the close of the previous day’s play, hit lustily for another 36 runs, and M'Girr played a solid knock for 57. By far the greatest performance, however, was that of James, the wicketkeeper, who scored 108. James treated the bowling as it deserved to be played, and put plenty of power behind his shots. It must be conceded, however, that he was lucky, for he gave chances at 56, 92, and 102. He delighted the spectators with his hard and clean .hitting, his score including 11 boundaries and a six.

The only bowler who met with anything approaching success was Douglas, with whom Blunt persevered, although his trundling was weak at times. Douglas troubled the batsmen towards the end of the innings, and at the close had the fine average of five for 88, taking five for 60 on the day.

Otago needed 333 runs to avoid an innings defeat when they began their second innings, and disaster met them early. Blunt, who opened with Kirglit was brilliantly caught in the slips after he had scored eight. M'Mullan followed. without scoring. Cherry went after scoring a single, and Cavanagh adc|ed only six. Four wickets were down for 51 runs. Play was brighter wdien Galland joined Knight, but after adding 14 in 11 minutes the Grange captain was caught. It seemed that there was a possibility of the match finishing before 6.30 when Dickinson joined Knight, but with a fine hard-hitting partnershiii the pair carried the score to 193 before stumps were drawn, in spite of the fact that nine bowlei’s were- tried. Knight had played a fine innings for 83, and Dickinson, though he was lucky, Ead btfttcd excellently for 77. The pair gave a fine exhibition of running between the wickets. It was a great finish to an interesting day’s cricket. The match was well attended in the afternoon, £ll5 being takdn at the gates.
