WICKET-KEEPER-BATSMAN. —The South African wicket-keeper, D. Lindsay has emerged as probably the best wicket-keeper-batsmen in test cricket since L. E. G. Ames with his performances against the touring Australian team. In the second test Lindsay scored a very aggressive century and then came to light with another impressive performance, when his century in the third test after the earlier batsmen had failed, placed South Africa in a strong position. The photograph shows Lindsay being given out to a freak catch in the second test. While trying to hook the Australian fast bowler, D. Renneberg, Lindsay hit the ball on to his forehead and while lying sprawled on the ground was given out caught and bowled.
