DUCKING BATSMEN
London, July 24. England to-day in their match against West Indies, had a taste of the medicine they gave the Australians. Martindale and Constantine repeatedly bowling body-line, Constantine sending down bumpers, with six fielders on the. leg side. Hammond was sometimes ducking Martindale's deliveries, which were little more than stump-high. He was onco hit on the thigh, resulting in an appeal for leg before. Hammond was caught at square leg half-way to the boundary. The leg theory was responsible for the other wickets. Walters was out leg before when he was apparently expecting another bumper. Wyatt was caught at short leg. Ames struck a bumper, and was caught in thp same over at long leg. Jardine Repeatedly ducked Cojnstantine's deliveries, and only narrowly escaped being caught in the leg trap.
