(Received June 11, at 11.30 a.m.) Major Brittain Jones (manager of the Indian cricketers), stating that the Bombay criticism did not represent Indian opinion, says there is every confidence in the Maharajah Vizianagram, who has fully justified his selection as captain. “We’ve had a run of had luck.” he says, “ not because of a poor side or bad captaincy, but because we have been unfortunate with casualties and bad weather.' It is not cricket to blackguard players because they have lost a few games.”
