R. Blunt, of tho New Zealand cricket team, who returned to Christchurch with tho'team, will not be slaying in Christchurch permanently, as lie will return to Dunedin next woek. Uumoi's have been current that the ex-Canterbury man would be playing in Christchurch in future, but Blunt will return to Duuediii, whero he will stay for some time. Blunt gave it as his opinion that the six-ball over was better than the eialitball over, and should be adopted in Now Zealand. "Fast bowlers much prefer 11m.' six-ball over, and the majority, of spin bowlers are also in favor of it," he said. "A bowler has to concentrate on each ball, and he can do this much better il six balls only are to he bowled. It i>. significant that the Australian authorities have made the six-ball over compulsory for the Sheffield Shield and international'contests." ■
