BRUISES AND DEFEAT
“BODY-BOWLING” SORENESS
AUSTRALIAN DENUNCIATION
[BY CABLE —PBESS ASSN. —COPYBIGHT.]
(Received April 11, 10 a.m.) SYDNEY, April 11.
At a meeting of the New South Wales Cricket Association, body-line bowling was denounced by Mr. E. Dwyer ,an Australian selector. Mr. Oxlade, a member of the Board of Control, said the Board would probably decide not to send a, team to England next year, unless something was done. The Association resolved unanimously: “That, bodyline bowling is against the best interests of the game, and urges all affiliated clubs and associations to discourage it.” ” Mr, Dwyer said: We must remove this insidious canker from the game, and if we do not, I sincerely hope Australia will not send a-team to England. ( Hear, hear.) Last season, I saw some of our most prominent batsmen, almost battered out of the game. To have seen the bruised bodies j- saw, was to be filled with pity. Other speakers criticised Jardine, who was accused of putting the winning o£ the game before the game itself.
