ENGLISH CRICKETERS
FREEDOM OF SOCIAL LIFE
SYDNEY, Dec. J
The English cricketers now touring Australia and soon to visit New Zealand are not bound by any hard and fast dis ciplino and. contrary to general belie):, they were not to lie sent olf to bed at 10 'o’clock, on tlie night before the first test mak-li like a Jot of little schoolboys.
Tho English leaders, including Mr. “Plum” Warner, hold the view that a sudden tightening of discipline over the members-of a team on tour would luivo a bad effect psychologically. Mr. Warner believes that if a cricketer is sent to bed early cm tho eve of a test match he might awaken about 3 or 4 a.m. and ponder over tho match, to the detriment of liis play.
Social activities are not interfered with provided they are within reason. Dancing is regarded as a useful pastime. It helps a batsman in his footwork.
