TRIBUTES TO N.Z. CRICKETERS
HAWKE, himself a mighty hitter in his heyday, had an affable farewell ready for the Maoriland cricketers after their final match at Scarborough, which lies within his ancient cricket domain of Yorkshire. His Lordship pointed out that the strong English XI. had taken all one afternoon to make 160, while the visitors rattled up 394 for five wickets in the same time. It is to be Hoped that the Maor Handers won’t repeat these reprehensible practises when they come to Australia (says a “Sydney Bulletin 1 * writer) ; if they do, a lot of our Melbourne and Sydney C.G. habitues will develop shellshock or something. Though handicapped by an exceptionally bad season the tourists wound up with a creditable record, and Blunt would be an as- *•* to any Australian side.
