EVIL OF BODY-LINE BOWLING
COMMITTEE TO EEPOET
Dnlted Press Association—By Electric Tel* EraDh—CoDytizht. SYDNEY, 31st January. The text of the cablegram of the Board of Control to the M.C.C. is as follows:—
We, the Board of Control, appreciate your difficulty in dealing with the matter raised in our cable without having seen the actual play. We unanimously regard body-line bowling as adopted in some of the games of the present tour as being opposed to the spirit of cricket, and dangerous to players. We are deeply concerned that the ideals of the game shall be protected, and have therefore appointed a committee to report on the action necessary to eliminate such bowling from all cricket in Australia as from the beginning of. the 1933-34 season: We -will forward a copy of the committee's recommendations for your consideration, and, it is hoped, co-operation a^ to their application in all cricket. We do not consider it necessary to cancel the remainder of the programme.
The members of the committee are as follows:—Mr. J. T. Hartigan, Queensland, representing the Board of Control, Messrs. Woodfull, Eichardson, and Noble.
