His idea was that the team would be a touring team to England or elsewhere. David Ashby William Barton James Baker Charles Boxshall Frank Cooke Herbert De Maus Alexander Downes Arthur Fisher Charlie Frith Lancelot Hemus Robert Neill Dan Reese Ernest Upham Arnold Williams Reese added that De Maus had obtained the last batting spot just ahead of Len Cuff, Alfred Holdship and Kinder Tucker. He did not consider for selection those who had established reputations in Australia before they moved to New Zealand, such as Syd Callaway, Alfred Clarke, Harry Graham and Charles Richardson.
