West Indies Hold Cricket Rubber
For the li'rst time in the history of cricket Tests between England and the West Indies, the latter have the great distinction of defending the rubber, which they won in their own land four years ago. In those circumstances, says an English writer, they appear to have earned the right of playing four-day Tests in England and also the right of playing the lull complement of live matches. But as in the case of a previous visit in 193-3 the matches are again three in number and limited to three days. The explanation is probably due to the fact that England has not so far sent her strongest available team to the West Indies.
