The Spike or Victoria College Review June 1930

Representative Honours

Representative Honours.

During the season several players gained places in the various representative sides. Eddie McLeod represented Wellington in the M.C.C. match, perforimng with outstanding success. With the ball he took three wickets for 7 runs in the M.C.C. first innings, and four wickets for 56 in the second. Batting, he saved the side in both innings, scoring 37 and 20 not out. This fine all-round performance gained him the twelfth man position in the First Test, and a position in the team in the Second Test match, where he again performed successfully. He also represented Wellington against Auckland in the Plunket Shield match, scoring 102 in the first innings, saving his side after they were in a bad way, and in the second innings tallying 36. His success in representative matches was one of the outstanding events in a crowded season. R. H. C. Mackenzie gained a place in the Wellington Plunket Shield team against Canterbury, scoring a splendid 31, and having the bad luck to be run out when well set. E. T. Leys also gained a place in the Wellington Town Representatives against the Country, performing well with the ball. "Tiny" Leys, also, was chosen to play in the Wellington Shield team against Otago, but was unable to accept the position.
