The real test for title-aspiring clubs in the Colony Lawn Bowls League begins this afternoon as the season enters its second quarter with practically all top teams already recovering their bearings.

This is the coldest opening to any cricket season I remember. Maybe As one correspondent polated I haven't been here long enough for that to mean much, but when umpire Frank Chester tells me that he too cannot remember such a sustained opening spell of sheer biting weather I begin to feel that the cricketer's problem out there in the middle is something almost unique. Frank has been playing and umpiring in first class cricket for over thirty years - and he must have seen some pretty tough openings to seasons before now,

After the Tourists who came straight here following one of the hottest summers South Africa has ever had my sympathies right now go to the England Selectors. It is their job to find England's team next week-end, and what sort of form in these poor conditions have they got to go on? Precious little, I would say. My bet is they will be judging as much by past reputation as actual current form.
