PEREIRA'S OMISSION.

To the Editor of "China Mail."} Sir your observations ол the selected Hong Kong Cricketi Interport team in yesterday's issue, it was stated. that the team picked by the Selection Committee was the best available In the Colony at the| present time. As one who has fol. lowed local cricket very closely for the past ten years or 30, I beg leave to differ.

to some of the young blood who had C. M. Sequeira v. P. T. Rozario put up quite a good show. E. Zimmern was described by you as one of the hardest hitters in the Colony in addition to being a very fair stumper. He should have got in on his showing last Saturday alone, to say nothing of the many good scores he had put up during the season and his consistency as a batsman.

Then we have the statement that F. D. Pereira has not enough stamina! What rot! One might as well say that the reason why Zimmern was not picked was be cause he could not hit a six off every ball that is sent down to him.
