The Decadence of Cricket.
The Napier Telegraph afeks :— "Why does not cricket flourish as well in New Zealand as it does in Australia ? Our climate is far. better suited to the game, and we have in our lads and young men the material for making the finest cricketers in the world. Yet really good plays era may be oounted upon the fingers. The fault, we fancy, lies in the neglect of good cricketing material while it is plastic Why, for instance, should we expect the lads of our schools to grow up good cricketers unless they are provided with coaches ? Some of those who are already good players might take this matter in hand.— We agree with our contemporary in Bnngesting that the crickete rs should look to the schools, and comfcina to teach the youngsters."
