BACK TO FORM
T> U PERT WORKER, who was in Auckland with the Napier Boys’ High School cricket team that is playing Auckland Grammar, is one of New Zealand’s best-known cricketers. Nowadays he is domiciled in Napier, but formerly he was at Christchurch and Dunedin, and several times appeared against Auckland in Plunket Shield
matches. In 1925 he was opening
bat in the New Zealand team which toured Australia, and, making a pile of runs on the trip, was considered a certainty for the team to go Home. Last year, however, he suffered an unexplained lapse from form, and the Auckland left-hander, J. E. Mills, beat him for his position. This year he is right on the job, however, and in three club games in Napier has compiled two centuries both chanceless not out efforts after carrying his bat right through the innings. He is regarded as a certainty for the Wellington Plunket Shield team this year, so Auckland bowlers will probably meet him later.
