CRICKET TEST MATCHES
[t is probable that Station 2YA will remain on the air all night to cover the cricket tests between New Zealand and England which start next June. Ball-by-ball commentaries on the Tests by an English team of experts will be broadcast on shortwave from the BBC, and it is at present proposed to rebroadcast the commentaries through the BBC’s seven and a-half \kilowatt transmitter in Singapore to ensure that listeners will receive them clearly. Transmission tests are now in progress to find out the suitability of this channel, Ordinary County matches, the first of
which, against Yorkshire, will start at Bradford on April 30, will be covered by a progress score after the 6.0 a.m. BBC news, a stumps score after the 8.0 a.m. news, and a special ten-minute scoreboard and summary after the 9.0 a.m. news, on each day of play. In addition the NZBS hopes to obtain the sefvices of the Rev. O. E. Blamires, the well-known veteran Test cricketer, who will be in England during the tour, and if satisfactory arrangements ¢an be made, he will broadcast special reviews of play throughout the tour for New Zealand listeners. 3
