PRESS COMMENT

NEW ZEALANDEES A GRITTY

TEAM,

(Received Dee. 24, 0.5 a.m.)

Sydney, Bee. 23,

The "Telegraph" dealing with tomorrow's match, New South Wales v. New Zealand, comments that the New Zealand cricketers started in the north believing that they would win a couple of country matches, ami then take a big beating from Queensland. Accomplishing the unexpected they, beat the northern State in a fashion which stamps the- visitors as cricketers with the hallmark of lighters in a tight situation. The fact that six .scored double figures, considering the wicket, says a good- deal for the grittine.ss of the light they put tip.

The "Telegraph I''adds that the success of Sandmann as a googly expert-is causing New South W:i!es enthusiasts to look forward to his visit to Sydney.

(■Received Dbe. 23, 10.40 p.m.) Sydney, Dec. 33. Massie will be unablo to play for New South Wales against New Zealand.
