T.C.C.B. sees light
PA Leieestei tn a move which might well have been construed as an apology to the New Zealanders, had the official statements not been carefully worded, the Test and County Criekef Board has decreed that the umpires for the third test at Lord's next week will be equipped with light meters. Mr Peter Lush, public relations and marketing manager for the board, in announcing the use of meters for the test, said they had been used in county cricket as an experiment some years ago. Mr Lush explained that the derision had nothing to do with the events at Trent
Bridge last Saturday. The matter, he said, had already been discussed by the board, and everyone on it had felt it was worth a try. Mr Walter Hadlee, chairman of tho New Zealand board of control, said that after Nottingham "anything was worth trying." The T.C.C.B. statement opens up some interesting avenues of speculation. Nothing so far has been said about what the minimum light readings should be, whether the two meter's have to be checked against each other first, whether umpires will have to take a crash course in the use of light meters and who Is to set the minimum standard.
