"The trail to England has been blazed by two previous New Zealand elevens, and I am sure that the present team will fully uphold the fine reputation made by the previous teams,” said Mr Wj R. Fee, chairman of the Auckland Cricket Association, in congratulating the players who had been chosen for the tour.
