In an editorial yesterday the “Australian” newspaper: said that cricket had always i personified everything that < is grand in sport and was it i noble art which produced < heroes such as Victor Trum- i per and Donald Bradman. “But after yesterday’s one- I day international in Mel- j bourne all that (to use i cricketing terins) has been < hit for a six.” 1 The Sydney “Daily Tele-1
graph” said that cricket — the word that has for so many years been synonymous with fair play and everything fine and proud in sporting tradition—took on a different and degraded meaning. v “It is hard to accept that the .blow came from our captain, Greg Chappell, but it did and in the eyes of the cricketing world Australia will Share the shame,” said the “Telegraph.”
