Larwood’s Successes
Sir, —Can your cricket correspondent dig up for the benefit of your correspondent "Cricket” how many times Larwood has clean bowled his victims? Because Australian batsman at the present day are weak on the leg side, why tell the world and call the other chap a bad sport? If Aussie is right, there is no need to be insulting over the matter. I have seen Charlie Robinson, Gibson, MeGirr, Matt. Henderson, and many others make a ball rise dangerously on a hard wicket in Wellington. AU fast bowling is dangerous if you are not capable of dealing with it. Are the Australians to be allowed to say how a man should bowl? Is it because he has seven men on the leg side that they object to Larwood? —I am, etc., EUCALYPTUS. Wellington, January 26. [During the present tour Larwood has clean bowled 14 batsmen and dismissed three others l.b.w.]
