From a Special Correspondent SUVA, March 17.
'T'HE Fijian Representative Cricket Team, now A- touring New Zealand, has been praised in the Dominion press for the wholesome effect it has had on the game there.
In recent years, it is said, the aim to win
has become more important than the game itself. The Fijians have played uniformly bright cricket in the 10 games already played.
They are at present engaged in a three-days match against Otago, winners of the Plunket Shield for the present season.
Results have been as follows, in their ten matches:: — Against Northland, won by 69 runs on first innings: Waikato, won by 9 wickets; Auckland, lost by 168 runs; Wanganui, drawn; Taranaki, won by 8 wickets; Rangitikei, lost on first innings; Wellington, won by 1 wicket; Sth.
Canterbury, won by 130 runs on first innings; Canterbury, lost by 36 runs; Southland, won by 7 wickets.
