“FAIR IN EVERY WAY”
SUTCLIFFE’S VIEW OF LARWOOD. PERFECT WICKETS THE CAUSE. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright Rec. 7 p.m. London, May 1. Making what he describes as his first public expression of opinion, on the subject, the cricketer, H. W. Sutcliffe, in “For Engjand and Yorkshire,” which was published to-day says: “On several occasions on which I faced Larwood's fast leg theory attack I found it perfectly fair in every way. -Larwood never compelled me to duck or back away.” Sutcliffe adds that nothing would ever have been heard of the fast leg theory if perfect wickets had not been produced to make good length fast bowling innocuous. Sutcliffe expresses the opinion that the new leg before wicket rule will definitely end fast leg theory bowling, but he asks whether the alteration does not swing the pendulum too far, giving the bowlers an unfair advantage.
