CRICKET
TEAM FOjR ENGLAND. SUCCESS DEPENDS ON GOOD SELECTION. AUCKLAND, Oct. 20. “Tf the New Zealand Cricket authorities pick their team carefully and make sure of sending their young players, the Dominion side should huvo a successful tour of England next season,’’ said A. F. Wensley, the well-known Sussex cricketer, who returned to Auckland by the Tainui last evening to take up another term with the Auckland Cricket Associa. tion as coach Personally he has a very high opinion of H. G. Vivian, the Parnell colt, whom he believe, with the retention of last year’s form, should be well in the running for selection.
In mentioning players well known in the Dominion, Wensley said that Daerc had had a very successful first season Avitli Gloucester, Avhich county finished second an the championship. Dacre was playing the same free game ns Now Zealanders knew and in In's big scores he had one double century. Langrklge had shown great improvement as an all-round player and had accepted a coaching engagement at Kimberley in South Africa, Avhile IloAA’ley had decided to have a - rest in the off season.
The Sussex men who were in the English team which visited New Zealand last year had very pleasant memories of their trip, and considered that New Zealand had reached a very fair standard of play. In mentioning the recent successful tour of the Australian team, Wensley said that Bradman’s batting wonderfully impressed the English public,and there was no doubt about his class. He did not, however, play in the match against Sussex. Personally Wensley considered that the English batsmen would have done better had they attacked the Australian bowling more. It was now realised at Home that the time had come to get new and young players for big cricket. At present the bowling outlook for England was clouded and there Avas urgent need to find new boAvlers to tako the places of the men avlio had carried the burden in the past. High j hopes were held for Verity, a young Yorkshire left-hander, who came Avitli | a big run near the end of the season. J
