N2  - Following the end to World War Two, the peacetime summer of cricket in England is largely remembered for the Victory Tests and the visit by the popular Australian cricketers. The New Zealand Services cricket team also toured around England during the summer of 1945, but little is known about the team or its exploits. This is the interesting and entertaining story of the team. Incorporates a brief survey of wartime cricket played by RNZAF and New Zealand Services teams in England throughout the period 1940 to 1945 and provides an account of 33 matches played by the 1945 New Zealand Services team in England. The side contained several of New Zelaand's big names from the past, such as: Stewie Dempster, Roger Blunt, Ted Badcock and Ken James, along with rising stars Martin Donnelly and Tom Pritchard. Features pen portraits of players representing the various New Zealand Services teams in England during World War Two
