T h e reason assign ed for the can cellin g o f the an n u al fixtu res w ith these shires is th e v isit o f tw o C olo n ial team s to E n g la n d n ext y e a r, but it is possible th a t the L a n c a sh ire execu tive h ave been influ enced b y the v e ry poor team s w h ich Som erset and H am p sh ire sen t up to L a n ca sh ire th is season .
