INDIAN TACTICS CRITICISED
“Game Could Be Livened Up” (N.Z. Press Association —Copyright) LONDON. May 16. The manager, the Maharajah of Baroda, must take the Indian cricket team to task for its “doggo tactics, the “Daily Herald’ cricket writer said today. He must start with his own “aide-de-camp, D. K. Gaekwad. the captain, the writer Sa, nie tourists’ obsession with the ’dea that they must avoid defeat at all costs was obvious in tneir match against Leicestershire earlier in the week, and again in their dismal exhibition against Surrey at the Oval, which ended in a draw yesterday, he said. The Indians won the toss on a perfect wicket at the Oval, but they played doggo from the Start. They did it again yesterday when, with very little chance of defeat, they could have livened up the game, the writer said. On three of the loveliest days the summer season could have, only 7500 paid to watch a match between the champion county and an overseas test team, he said.
