SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS. SHOULD BE MADE
(By “R. Abbit")
The whole of the matches on Saturday last seem to have suffered from various set-backs. I was talking about the question with the captain of a first Division side the other day and he was inclined to think that first Division teams at any rate (we did not discuss the second Division position but I incline to think it is not quite the same) would do well to leave their fixtures blank during the week-ends when the Volunteers are in camp.

CRICKET AT HOME
In my last article devoted a certain amount of space to the dls- cussion of some of our leading cric- keters with reference to their per- formances in the past season and with reference to the future. I dealt with batsmen. To-day 1 want to make a few remarks upon the bowl- ing. In the first Test Match England played Gover and Voce for fast bowlers und Verity for the stow spinster, together with Robins; while Hammond and Parks were the change bowlers. None of them could man- age to get the New Zealanders out sufliciently quickly to force a win dent that the and it was quite evident Selection Committee were not satig- fied.
