AUSTRALIAN VIEW

Board Disappointed MAIN ISSUE CLOUDED. (Received Juno 13 at 11.50 p.m.) SYDNEY, Juno 13. Official cricketing circles in Australia declare that the Marylebono report leaves the position precisely where it was a month ago. Indeed, it rather aggravates it. The “Sun” cricket writer, Air A. Moyes, says that the report emphasises the necessity for sending a delegation to England. Bradman agToes with this view, and expresses the opinion that Woodfull is the very man for the job, as he has had practical experience of body-line bowling. Bradman adds that Marylebone is clouding the issue with a complaint. about barracking, and asks howanybody is going to stop angry protests from an infuriated 50,000 onlookers, whose grievance is mainly against intimidatory bowling. Tf the M.C.C. wants to stop tests on the ground of barracking, how much more necessary is it to stop them until dangerous bowfling tactics are controlled? That’s a question for our Board of Control to answer,” he concluded. Bradman’s views are shared by other leading officials here, in Victoria, and in South Australia. The members of the Board of Control arc surprised at Afa-rylebone making the report public before submitting it to the Australian Board. Two members of the Board express frank disappointment at its contents.
