DOMINION CRICKETERS.
NEW ZEALANDER’S PRAISE. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Aug. 16. Mr D. L. Dustin, who saw the first cricket Test at Lord’s and who is a former New Zealand representative, said oh his arrival from England today that the English crowd gave full credit to the New Zealanders for their plucky fight. His impression was that they were most popular. He did not think that England, on her Test showing, was vastly superior to New Zealand at cricket. He believed that if Wallace lived in England he would be regarded as being in the front rank of batsmen, and that Kerr, Moloney, Vivian, Cowie, Hadlee' and Roberts were quite equal to the best county, standard. , . . Mr Dustin was formerly second pilot to Cook Strait Airways and now is attacked to the R.A.F. Reserve. He is a pilot instructor at Hendon.
