GREAT ALL-ROUNDER
TED BOWLEY seems to have got -*• the M.C.C. team out of a nasty hole at Perth. The erstwhile A.C.A. coach was cast in a new role—that of a dogged stonewaller in the Englishmen’s lugubrious first innings. Ted net only delivered the goods with the bat, but
his wily slows prevented the We s t r a lians from securing a moral victory. Harold Gilligan said before the team left London that it contained the two best batsmen in England, presumably referring to Frank
Woolley and Ouleepsi nhji, who were both phenomenally successful in county cricket this year. And it is worth while adding that there are few better all-rounders in English cricket today than E.H.B. —solid opening bat, good change bowler, and a real champion in slips. Playing for a weak team in Auckland may have cramped Bowley’s style, but his record in county cricket during the past couple of years has been a brilliant one.
