LARWOOD & CRICKET “BARRACKERS”
CHAPMAN THINKS HE WAS MISREPORTED Dominion Special Service. Christchurch, April 30. “I feel sure that Harold Larwood was misreported when he was said to have stated that he would never go to Australia again because of the Australian barracking, and in the other statements attributed to him on this subject. Larwood is much too good a sportsman to take umbrage at the barracking.” This is the opinion of Mr. A. P. F. Chapman, the English captain, expressed in a brief interview to-day prior to his departure for the north. Mr. Chapman endorsed the view of the M.C.C. team that Jackson’s innings at Adelaide was the finest played against them on the tour, but declined to comment on the Australian barracking.
