Cricket 1910

3 8 6 CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. S e p t . 8 , 1 9 1 0 . may be said regarding Macartney’s sojourn in Dunedin. This player was admittedly one of the best all-rounders of the last Australian Eleven, yet he did not stand out to any appreciable extent amoug Ntw Zealaud players. He did not make our bowling look simple, nor did his bowling possess any great terrors for our batsmen, steady as he undoubtedly was. Several other Australian players put in the last cricket season in New Zealand, but they did not display any marked superiority over the best of New Zealand players.” “ What steps are being taken to keep your cricket on the up grade?” “ The different Associations are doing the utmost their finances will allow to provide efficient coaching for their players. Auck­ land has had for several seasons tuition from Relf, and her Grammar School players have beneiited considerably by the coaching of S. P. Jones, a one-time Australian Eleven player. Canterbury had the services of Humphreys, the Kent professional, in 1908-9, and last season engaged Bucken­ ham, of Essex, but, owing to a misunder­ standing about his passage, he did not come. But his place was filled by W. Carlton, a good all-round Melbourne player, who gave such general satisfaction that he will probably be engaged for another term. Otago has had two or three professionals from Australia, and duiing last season had the benefit of C. G. Macartney’s advice. Board, the Gloucestershire professional, put in the season in Napier, and it is understood that he will return there for next season. Wellington has been rather backward in providing coaching, but I believe it is their intention to repair the omission in future. The necessity of securing the visits of foreign teams is fully recognised as an important factor in raising the standard of our play, and we shall endeavour in the future to pursue this policy to the utmost that our resources will allow. We are already looking forward to the visit of an English team during the 1911-12 season. This will spur our players on to get into their best form, and we look forward confidently to giving our visitors some good fights, and so demonstrate that our cricketers aspire to be on the same plane as our English, Australian and South African cousins.” H AM PSTEAD v.
