CHRISTOHURCH, last night. At the general meeting of the New Zealand Cricket Council a letter was read from Dunedin. suggesting that an Australian team be invited to visit New Zealand this season. The Chairman said that he did not think a team could be got over as suggested, but it would do no harm to send an invitation. Most likely next season a team would visit England from Australia, and on its return arrangements might be made including New Zealand m the tour. The Hawke's Bay Association wrote urging that a committee:: of three be set up to select a team for the North Island i» the inter-island match. It was decided to appoint one selector for the North Island and one for the South Island 'to pick the representative teams. ■ ■ - ? It was resolved that the fixing of the date of the inter-island match, should be deferred until the dates of all interprovincial matches have been settled. The Canterbury v. Otago match was fixed for December 26, 27, and 28,} at Hagley Park. „ It was decided to send ajcable to Major Wardell, Melbourne; asking whether it would ]je possible! ibr the English team to include New Zealand m the tour. Some dissatisfaction was expressed at the meagre accounts sent through the Press Association of the results* of the English and Australian matches.
