CRICKET

THE SECOND TEST MATCH AN UNFORTUNATE INCIDENT. LONDON, June 29. Discussion has arisen on the equipment of Lord’s Ground, consequent on the manner of Commaille’s dismissal on Saturday. It is pointed out that when Commaille received the ball which swung in and bowled him. he did not sight it through a Marylebone player moving in front of the pavilion glass door. Critics point out that there is only a single sight screen at Lords, while no South African ground pavilion is, like Lord’s directly behind the bowler. After CommaUle’s dismissal the offending glass doors were covered with paper. LEADING AVERAGES Received June 30, 7.45 p.m. LONDON, June 29.
