CRICKET
LONG MATCHES KILLING TESTS OPINION OF V. Y. RICHARDSON. Speaking at tire Constitutional Club luncheon in Adelaide last week the vice-captain of the Australian Eleven, Mr Y. Y. Richardson, said that, although body-line bowling was endangering the existence of test cricket, interest was also being killed by long drawn out, slow-scoring test matches. If the bowler’s powers were be limited in attempts to prevent bodyliiie bowing. Australia would have to consider a limit, of. say five days for matches. “J can easily understand why bowlers have tried to find some scheme to overcome batsmen who remain at the wicket 'for hours, using their lege as a second line of defence,” said Mr Richardson, “but I feel sure that England wll not permit the continuance of anything which threatens that code of ethics which English players themselves have built up and so zealously maintained.”
