BODYLINE BOWLING
SCATHING DENUNCIATION. “GANGSTER CRICKET.” AN ALLEGED BLENDER. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph'.—Copyright.) Received April 10, 10.55 a.m. LONDON, April 9. Under the chapter heading, “Torso Bowling,” Mr E. H. D. Sewell, the noted cricket authority, scathingly criticises bodyline bowling in his book, “From a Window at Leeds.” He says: “Of all the blunders committed on the cricket field, even though its commission helped to win the rubber, intensive fast bowling with a regular synod of six, seven, and eight men on the leg-side, was the worst. It was only a kind of gangster cricket. The only merciful thing was that it did not happen at Lords.”
