Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 2, No. 3 March 22, 1939

[news]

To supporters of University in club cricket, the 1939 season has been extremely disappointing Strong on paper and possessing cricketers of marked ability, the senior team is finishing the season with a very poor record.

Not the least of W. Tricklebank's troubles as captain has been a lack of varlety in bowling at his command. Medium paced right-handers have at limes proved an embarrassment and the team has often felt the lack of a good slow right-hander, although the slow left-hander. Harpur has done fairly well.

Opponents have been presented with scores of runs through slovenly fielding, and several lost games can be directly attributed to dropped catches. The last match against Wellington is an instance.

At times the side has scored heavily. But frequently inexplicable breakdowns hive occurred, perhaps partly due to the fact that throughout the season practice wickets on Kelburn Park have been Ill-prepared and practice on them has sometimes been more harmful than beneficial.
