Indians Against At Sookunpoo

THE STATEMENT that it is hoped to run some modified form of County Cricket next season is one that will come as a pleasant surprise to most cricketers out here. Of course we recognise only too well that it is at present nothing more than ́a hope, and, I fear, a somewhat faint one. There will no doubt be plenty of good cricketers in England for everyone does not go to France.

In big Military centres there will no doubt be the material for some excellent teams, who will be probably well above second class county standard, and I suppose that even in wartime a two-day fixture might be possible. But once one starts trying, to take a team from A to B. difficulties arise.
