BODY LINE BOWLING
CONDEMNED BY LORD HAWKE. JUSTIFICATION OF AUSTRALIAN PROTESTS. ' (Press Association. —Copyright.) (Received 1.43 p.m.) London, January 30. Lord Hawke, at a Yorkshire Cricket Club meeting, stated emphatically that the Australians had a perfect right, to complain against Voce’s two overs at Nottingham, which, according to the evidence, constituted a direct attack on the batsmen. Lord Hawke protested against the press complaints of the test selectors’ omission of the two players, though one of them had said he did hot desire and did not intend to play against the Australians. The other was similarly ineligible by a statement in the press that he would not play against the Australians. Lord Hawke said that he believed that direct bowling was extinct, and did not expect the umpires would ever be called on to act. Yorkshire would hever stand for persistent short fast bowling on the line of a batsman standing clear of the wicket.
