CRICKET
1 •‘■.'DON, July 17. Reports from Manchester predict that the wicket for the third cricket test, which opens at Old Trafford on July 23, will give more assistance than usual to the spin bowlers, partly because of the recent dry spell and partly because the Old Trafford groundsman has been heavily rolling the .pitch and cutting down the watering. This, it is considered, is likely to produce a hard, dry top which will show wear and tear well before the end of the match. If these predictions prove to bo true the fate of the toss will be more than usually important. Hadlee is due for a change of luck. His win when he called correctly at Northampton was only his second correct call in the last sixteen. •■.. ■ j-i-iv. -
