VENOMOUS LEG THEORY
DEATH-KNELL OF CRICKET
VETERANS' VIEWS
ADELAIDE, 16th January. Clem Hill says: "The venomous leg theory, or rather head theory, is sounding the death-knell of scientific cricket. Batsmen may soon have to wear baseballers' armour to combat it. Woodfull's blow was all in the game. The ball flew sharply and beat the defence. Larwood immediately resorted to leg tactics. It iis not cricket. Woodfull does not squeal unless something is wrong."
Says Noble: "Larwood's attack was vicious. The whole leg theory is preventable brutality! Woodfull will provide the visitors with an object lesson in British fairplay by discountenancing retaliation."
