BRISBANE CONDEMNED AS TEST CENTRE
Received Fridav, 12.20 a.iu. NEW DELHI, Dec. 4. ,- No future test match should be played at Brisbane at this time of the year, said the president of the Indian Cricket Board of Control, klr. ■ A. F. Demello, when connnenting on tlie result of the first test. "It isn't the (ivst time this kind of farcieal cricket has been staged 'at Brisbane which is notorious for freak results," he said- " India 's collapse on the quagmire was
not surprising. The Australian cricket authoriti.es should consider the effect that the result of sueli a matcli would have on a visiting team's niorale at the beginning of the serics. . The loss of the greater portion of the test matcli gate to which the visitors looked to to recoup the heavy expenses involved in a tonr, would also be serious.
