John Maynard for his part noted that cricket gear is extremely expensive and lauded the President on his fine gesture. He noted that ‘it looks like a good willow and should produce a lot of runs”.
Joseph Morton noted that it was a timely gesture as his team was in need of cricket gear and promised that it would be used effectively and would be well taken care of.
