NEW ZEALAND CRICKET
Impressions Of Sir Julien Cahn KERR AND WEIR THE BEST BATSMEN By Telegraph—Press Association. AUCKLAND, March 21. His cricketing experience in the Dominion had been a happy one, said Sir Julien Cahn before sailing by the Niagara today. The team, be said, found good wickets everywhere, though many of the outfields, including Auckland, were below standard because of football being played on them in the winter The finest green was in Dunedin and the best, wicket at Eden Park. He considered J. L. Kerr and G. L. Weir the finest batsmen his side played against. Though there were useful bowlers, no one was outstanding. Sir Julien said he did not see the Test match, but he had formed the opinion from the other games that the fielding was not up to the standard of the usual New Zealand first-grade players. His genera] impression was that the standard of play throughout New Zealand was equal to that when his team last met a New Zealand side in England in .1937. He added that the standard of schoolboy cricket showed promise for the future of the game. He was looking forward, he concluded, to the next visit by a New Zealand team to England.
