Cricket interest in Australia during the progress of the Test matches in particular is amusingly described by a young Gisborne lady who is spending a holiday in Melbourne. Writing to relatives at Gisborne, she remarked: “Everywhere you go you hear the cricket scores and performances discussed. The fishmonger gives you Bradman’s history with your snapper cutlets; the baker has a new rumour about dissension in the team; and the greengrocer has the scores on a miniature board in the window of his shop. Even in the trams you cannot get away from cricket, for the conductors gather the latest at every stop, and announce it to the passengers as a matter of course. We (the writer and her aunt) are hoping for England to win; but, of course, we daren’t say so. We should probably be lynched by an angry mob of Australians."
