CRICKET.
ORGY OF BIG SCORING. EXPERTS’ OPINIONS. (UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION-BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH —COPYRIGHT.! (AUSTRALIAN PRESS ASSOCIATION.) LONDON, May 14. The week-end orgy” of big scoring is engaging the attention of experts, who largely blame the absence of good bowlers, combined with the hard-baked wickets. George Hirst is of the opinion that the groundsman holds the secret ol hard wickets beating the bowlers. The only thing is to take a bit out of the wicket and restore its-life. Something must be done. Douglas says that so much cricket is played that it means a tremendous strain on the endurance of the fast bowler. The smaller ball has “boomeranged” in favour of batsmen. It is killing the swerve bowler simply because it is impossible to swing it.
