ENGLISH CRICKET TEAM.

j. OUR OF NEW ZEALAND. TWO ASSOCIATIONS OBJECT. (£>}' Telegraph.—Press Association.) G'HRISTCHURCH, this day. "We can't always have visits from Australian teams, however much we might like to have them," said Mr. J. F. Peake, secretary of the New Zealand Cricket Association, in commenting on the attitude of the Wairarapa Association towards the proposed visit of an English team to the Dominion in 192930. Mr. Peake said New Zealand was in honour bound to bring an English team to the Dominion, as a return for the New Zealand team's tour of England. Mr. Arthur Sims was acting on behalf of the Cricket Council in London. Of the 23 associations in the Dominion, the great majority had replied to tfye council that they were favourable to the tour. Only the Otago and Manawatu Associations had raised objections. Mr. Peake said the council was going to have some say in the personnel of the team, and associations could feel assured that it would consist of firstclass players, who would be a good draw. The English players now in the j Dominion would probably be wanted for inclusion in New Zealand teams.
