The following suggestion is made by a correspondent writing to the Wellington ■'■Dominion”: “We have too English cricketers here to try our strength, and teach us the mer points of the game, but what do wo get out of it II the tour.sts get a good holiday as iar as New /Oeiifancl is yioncerned, then something has been done; that a lot oi our players have had a shock , instead of learning also goes. The show of our men against the visitors is like a cow to a monkey at climbing trees, if our men can ..gain one run per 1090, not 100, which is as much as they will do, then why trouble ? We- will have to find something else. I would suggest getting ' a group of coaches irom Australia, and England and distributing them about the country, placing them where they can get some return, and every other mid week, let them play, say Wanganui and Manawatu combined. Nelson and Blenheim, Southland and North Otago, Wellington. Christchurch, .*tc M working to suit expenses. The team could a'so play the New Zealand team in each ol the four centres. Take the coaches in New Zealand last year, they would he equal to this English team or that near it we would not know the dilferenee, and J think- on the above idea, it would have paid in coaching and helped considerably the finance.'’
