' (By Telep-aph.—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, This Day. In an interview today, Mr. P. P Warner, co-manager of tho English cricket team, said that tlie standard of batting in New Zealand had improved since ho was last here with Lord • Hawko's team in 1902-03, but there were no boilers at present like A Downes and A. H. Fisher (Otagoi E* r..Upham (Wellington), and'the late S. Callow-ay and F. Prankish (Canter- - pury).- Of course ho did not know „ anything: of tho bowlers in tho intervening years. The outstanding impression the English players, had gained .of the Christchurch Test was' the magnificent fiold--ing of Page. James kept wickets ad- ■ nuraljly, and .Woir ana Kcrr batted soundly at critical times. Whitolaw had made a good beginning in big cricket. Badcock was a capital allrounder, and the Englishmen felt very , keenly the injuries, to him and Vivian. Mr. Warner said that every member -of tho team was delighted with everything they had seen in, tho tour- ■of New Zealand, with the considerate , treatment of the New Zealand Cricket Council, and' with the universal hospitality shown. . .
