AUSTRALIAN CRICKETERS
ENGLISH TEAM WILL HOT, VISIT DOMINION [Pkr United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, February 15, Speaking at the reception to the Australian cricketers, Mr D. Reese, chairman of the Cricket Council, deplored the weakness of New Zealand fielding, and said that the time had come when no man should represent the dominion who was deficient in this respect. He referred to the generous financial assistance given to New Zealand cricket by the Australian bodies. Mr Bull, manager of the Australian team, laid stress on the fact that every man selected had made it his business to,come, so that the visitors were practically a test match side. He explained that the Australian Council was very sorry that it could not find time for the English team to visit New Zealand next season. To do this would mean cutting out West Australia altogether, and reducing the country matches in Australia. Grimmett, as an old Wellington player, received an enthusiastic welcome on his own account. »
