CRICKET PROFITS

AUSTRALIANS IN ENGLAND

The net profit on the Australian cricket team’s tour in Eng Land last summer amounted approximately to £42,000. Although not a record, the profit compares favourably with that of previous Australian tours, and but for the "washed-out” . test at Manchester, w here not a. ball could be bowled, all past figures would have been beaten easily. The distribution of profits was: — £3350 to the M.C.C. and each county on whose ground test matches were played; £I6OO to each on whose ground test matches were not played; £220 to each minor county and university. It is estimated that over a period of four years the counties who stage test matches on their grounds have received an average of £I4OO per annum toward the cost of maintenance and improvements.
