Stanley Jackson, in a letter ! '*io :Wys ; that-.the? Advisory BiSStl'S '/resolution, is - needlesslycurt, "not Jto eay ungenerous. It. seems, •is if the Bo''ard ; were either misled or unduly hurried to a conclusion. Becans® the Australians were unable io take part in a triangular contest,, surely that was not- sufficient reason to be peremptorily told that 'they must either join in the tournament or stay at home.' He earnestly pleaded .. for the harmony and good feeling essential to international cricket. He advised the withdrawal- of the Board's resolution, and an acknowledgment that a mistake had been committed. He hoped the counties would, extend a cordial invitation on the old lines, without new conditions, for a visit next year. He was certain that an. Australian team would be heartily and .generously .welcomed.
