N.Z. CRICKETER COMING BACK TO DOMINION.
MR E. D. BLUNDELL SAYS HE IS WORST BATSMAN. (United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) MELBOURNE, December 31. Having been called to the English Bar, and having represented his university at cricket for two consecutive seasons, Mr E. D. Blundell, of Wellington, arrived by the liner Ormonde, en route to New Zealand. He will practise in Wellington. Interviewed, he described himself as the world’s worst batsman, adding that last season he took four more wickets than his total number of runs. Mr Blundell gained prominence as a medium pace bowler. In his first match with Cambridge against Leicester he took six wickets for 25 runs. Discussing the forthcoming cricket tests, he said that Australia would need the best bowlers in order to regain the Ashes. Englishmen who had returned from Australia were surprised that the Australians did not make greater use of Blackie, of whom they had a high opinion as a bowler.
