Lisle Nagel Sets New Record
; Tall Lisle Nagel, who once ! ! caused a sensation by bowling ! I out an English team in Mel- j I bourne, has taken 82 wickets for < ! the Melbourne Club in competi- ; ; tion games this season. It is be- j • lieved to be a Victorian record. ! [ Nagel, who is about 6ft 6in— ! ! what difference does an inch or i ! two make up there—is reckoned ; ! the best bowler in Victoria. He * < does not play Shield cricket J ; these days, because he has a I ] good executive job and is not ! ; prepared to sacrifice his future I 1 to cricket. There is no doubt > ! about his bowling skill, and he { ! would be a champion in Eng- ; < land. 1
