HOMEWARD BOUND
SOUTH AFRICAN TEAM DELIGHTED WITH TOUR MANAGER’S IMPRESSIONS (Per United Press Association.) Wellington, March S. The South African cricketers departed from the Dominion this afternoon. In an interview, the manager, Mr Tandy, said the New Zealand visit had been really delightful and the cricket very sporting. There was no doubt the New Zealanders played the right kind of cricket, but they were lacking a little in big match cricket, as was South Africa a few years ago. There was no need for the New Zealanders to be disheartened. At the Christchurch match particularly, the Africans had set a very high standard. Their performance there was, he considered, the best of the whole tour. He was impressed with Vivian as an all-rounder. Blunt was another who took his eye. Badcock impreaed as a useful all-rounder. Mr Tandy stlid the New Zealanders had been up against very good bowling, Quinn, for instance, whose figures in Australia had never been the true reflection of the merit of his performance.
