THE N.Z. TEAM

NO FAST BOWLERS

WEAKNESS IN THE SELECTION

(Christchurch. Times), v

One great weakness in the side selected is tlie lack ol last bowlers J despite the fact'that the selectors had ample warning that they would be a necessity. Otherwise the fourteen will ho stronger, than the team which - left Now Zealand in 1927. '1 lie bowling will bo steadier, and the batting much stronger, while there should lie a great improvement in, the fielding. The big Surprise is the exclusion of G; R-. Dickinson, of Otago. Matheson was certainly not impressive in the match ..with Canterbury, and lie by no means lived tip to his reputation. ]| i, equal|v. surprising that he was selected he it. ire :ble yep ley; tlie Auckland express merchant. J. Newman, of Wellington, was earlier expected to he able to make the grade as a. bowler, but latterly lie faded almostcompletely out of the picture. Some even may have preferred E, D. Blundell, of Wellington, to Alathesdn. He -can keep a better length and his experience on English wic-kets " would have stood the side in good stead. . ... ■. . / *• One feature of the.:tqain .will be that all tlie . bowlers;.are),nlsp batsmen. S.; G. Lester, who topped the Canterbury averages n-ml came second jn, tlie fowling; honours, was unlucky not to he in the selected fourteen, but lie had to encounter the keenest 'competition. Cronib and Talbot were two of the Canterbury men who needed only cou.fit'hpition in their positions., .and, alter Ins display in the Otago match, Cronib had to lit 1 selected. He is a good change howler and has shown that he is one of the most reliable hats availaide. Also he is. the Ixist short fielder that Canterbury 1 1 as-,seen for.a long time. YYeir, Mills and Vivian were certainties from the beginning, and All- - could not possibly he overlooked. Every confidence could be reposed in the,_,t,Y‘a.m if oitln-r D'rkiusontor..Cleverley.

A’BECKETT INJURED. Tn trying to take a most difficult ca tch from. Bradma n to-day, A ’ Beckett fell and .dislocated bis shoulder. He suffered intense agony.
