Change What Bowler?
? When the New Zealand | cricket captain, 3. R. Reid, §was bowling without much S success in the third test South Africa at S Auckland, he heard a cry | repeated after every ball—- | the old familiar “Change | the bowler.” | It was only a young boy out, said Reid, but S he had been thinking of | taking himself off and mak- | ing a change—to one
bowler in particular. So | shortly afterwards he did, $ and R. W. Blair took a | wicket almost immediately. | But as the New Zealand | team was waiting for the S new batsman they heard $ the parrot cry again. Reid § listened a little more care- s fully and discovered the | boy advertising his wares: § “Coca Cola! Coca Cola!” | “I must have had a S guilty conscience,” said S Reid ruefully.
