Charlie M'Leod, the ex-Australian Eleven representative, is seriously ill in England with pneumonia. "Perhaps the day is not far dis- , tant when Englishmen will ha"e the pleasure of welcomiug a cricket team from New Zealand" is the comment of an English paper in aj preciation of Otago's effort s in securing "coaches.", Messrs C. Hill, F. A. Iredale, and P. M'Alister will select the Australian cricket team to visit England. The appointment of Iredale and M'Alister is not palatanle to a section of the leading players, who favoured the choice of M. A. '."oble to represent New South Wah ■= and H. Trumble to act for Victoria. Relf, who took such a big part in winning the shield for Auckland and in sir.ee retaining it, will not assist "the holders after thi3 season, as he : goes out to India under engagement to "Ranji" next year. Dealing with the Plunkett shield match between Otago and Auckland, a well-known North Island player remarks:—"Let Auckland hold the Plunkett shield, let the dead bury the dead, and let the championship of New Zealand be fought out in Dunedin next month between Ota*o •and Canterbury, for they are the two best teams, judging by the play of recent matches."
