CORRESPONDENCE.
THE CANTERBURY CRICKET TEAM. I -TO THE KPITOE GF THE PRESS. Sir.—Yeftrrday you published a description of thw-c players-, in which Frankish, Lawrence, an JPearce are called fast bowlers. They are nob so. but "fart medium," which is a very different, thing. Ido not suggest that their being otherwise than fast bowlers makes them at all less valuable; quite the cent ran-. Still, accuracy has its advantages. You speak of BoxrfiaH as tha Jjest wickotkfepar, and Sinis as the best batsman in the colony. Tiint is v»»ry likely the Centerbun- \ iew. a-nd before expecting general oecsptance of it, thp b.»i way will"he to nsk Mr Warner and th? two piofes.«ion?ls in Hawko's ttam, M-hen tJiev leavv finally tc> play tlw second New Zealand match iii Wellington, their opinion on tlwt points. By that time they will hare seen all th<s leading bowling, batting, and wicket-ke-epimj in the colony, and it wilt not surprise me if their opinion does not coincjde with that of th«> writer of the description above-men-tioned.—Yours, etc., „ , I January 23th.
