Fijian Cricketers For
MR. P. A. SNOW, well-known Admin istrative Officer and cricketer, of Fiji, left Sydney in the May Orcades for leave in the United Kingdom. While there he hopes to arrange a tour of a Fijian cricket team similar to that which toured New Zealand in 1948.
He says that he is not looking for a Test series with England; he hopes to arrange a tour —and the MCC is inter ested —to play the bottom six teams in the County League and the top six minor County teams. He considers that the Fijians would more than hold their own in this company and he bases his opinion on his knowledge of English cricket. He was a former Cambridge and County cricketer before he went to Fiji 15 years ago.
