FAULTY PLACING OF INDIAN FIELD
Reeeived Sunday, 8.50 p.m. SYDNEY, Nov. 9, ' 'Amarnath will be known to Australia not only for batting but also for continually ch'anging his field wlierever the ball is hit," says Duleepsinhji, eommenting on the India versus New South Wales game. "This policv," he adds, "is bound to upset the bowlers and sap their confidenee. On a faster wicket and outfield than in Melbotfrne on Friday he had a closer field and the
lesiut was a iarge number of fours. Only after tea did he open out the field, thus reduc.ing the scoring rate. "The Indians' outcricket was poor with misfields, overthrows and poor returns. No bowler really troubled the batsmen and Amarnath rightly relied on spinners, giving Amir Elahi long spells. On perfect wickets India 's prospects of doing well depend on support for the bowlers. India 's outcricket vesterday was slaek and lifeless. ' '
