Country cricket week
THE country week of cricket was commenced at the Carisbrook Ground yesterday, when a team from Otago Central met a team from the Grange (on the main wicket) and Tapanui met South Otago. The weather was fine, but a brisk southwest wind blew across the ground, and a fair number of spectators were present. The innovation by the Otago Cricket Association should have the desired result of increasing the interest in the great national summer game.
