TESTS TOO LONG
ENGLISH CAPTAIN’S VIEW AGAINST EIGHT-BALL OVER [Per United Press Association.] ‘WELLINGTON, March 25. Chapman is against excessive length of test matches. In the course of an interview lie said: “1 think the time should be cub down to live days;- in the event of a finish being possible, tlie time might bo extended to lunch on the sixth day. That should be ample.” Ho had expressed the opinion before leaving Australia that limitless tests severely taxed the players’ strength, and did not produce the best cricket. The eight-ball over was also considered by him to be a strain, no matter what the climate.
White, the vice-captain, is also opposed to long tests, bub Ryder, the Australian captain believes in playing them out.
