CRITICS AT VARIANCE SOME SUPPORT JARDINE OTHERS CONDEMN TACTICS DESCRIBED AS WARFARE Ey 1 clpßrnph—Press Association—Copyright (Received July 2G. 5.5 p.m.) LONDON. July 2G I am glad in nno sense that the Most Indies cricketers introduced bodyline bowling in the second test match, because now pooplo know exactly what, it means," says Jack Hobbs, in a review of tho match. " I hope Constantino will bowl at the Oval, then Londoners also will sco it in action." Critics agree that Jardine's first test innteli century was a triumph. They say Jardino proved that tho leg-theory has no terrors. Ihe Manchester Guardian says the committee of the Northamptonshire Cricket Club has interdicted Clark for exploiting the body-lino bowling in county engagements, but in test cricket, thanks to tho Marylebonc Club, it legalises it. Hammond's chin was split to tho bone and lie cannot open his eyes properly to-day. t Sporting Life says: " The second test match has brought homo tho frailties of fast leg-theory bowling" for which no one who saw tho game had a good word. Tho opinion formed of this typo of attack is that it is not only intimidating, but definitely hazardous and completely spoils cricket." Tho Morning Post's critio, Mr. Robertson, of Glasgow, says: " Jardino showed up the leg-thoory for the iniserablo stuff it is—miserablo to watch, not easy to play and harder to justify. It is simply warfare, not cricket."

Warner's comment on body-line bowling, says: "Warner's sudden conversion is very interesting and amusinc. When a few Australians dared to say precisely what he is saying now they were called 'squealers.' , "What shall we say of Warner, tho man who, in oyster-like silence, watched the gifted Harold Larwood beatinc his tattoo 011 the ribs of the Australian cricketers."
