A brief hint of Alfred Hitchcock and “The Birds” in the cricket test at Lancaster Park yesterday. A flock of sparrows took possession of various parts of the ground. They are shown flying across the pitch at an awkward moment just as a bowler was running in. A moment later they settled and the New Zealand batsman, Ken Wadsworth (back to camera) flung his bat at them. They caused no further trouble.
