OVAL HULLABALOO
CRITICS FOR AND AGAINST BRADMAN gross-insult to great CRICKETER. POLICY OF SAVING BOWLERS ATTACKED. (Recd This Day, 12.20 p.m.) LONDON, May 24. “Aussies booed,” “Bradman booed at Oval,” were among the headlines in the morning newspapers recording today’s incidents at the Oval. Despite Jeanes’s official explanation of Bradman’s desire to conserve his bowlers in view of casualties, several critics take Bradman severely to task. “The Times,” however, commenting on the “terrible hullabaloo,” states that it has come to a pretty pass when a captain has to make a public apology. “I never believed I should hear anything so distressing, but when the Australians took the field Bradman was booed all the way out. A possible mistake in tactics is no excuse for a gross insult to the greatest cricketer of the age. It was a moment of shame for the Oval,” Mr Howard Marshall says. “It is a pity the game should be reduced to such a travesty.” Mr C. W. Packford, writing in the “News Chronicle,” says Bradman was severely criticised and rightly, as it made a farce of the whole thing and jnost definitely was not cricket.
