STILL THE SAME

LABWOOD AND LEG-THEORY BUT .MAY NOT BOWL AGAIN LONDON, Oct. IL Larwood told the Daily Express that the M.C.C.’s cable to the Australian Board of Contiol was good except that it was not definite about the legtheory. “If L am. picked for the Tests,” he said, “1 shall bowl legtheory when the wicket is suitable, unless expressly ordered not to do so, and L do not think the M.C.C. will order me or anyone else not to bowl wil h a packed leg-1 rap. “I see Bradman is reported to have said that the cables mean that he will not encounter body-line bowling in the future.. All I can say is that if Bradmas comes here in .1934, he may be surprised. I do not think the M.C.C. rules out leg-theory. ” Interviewed at Annesley to-day Larwood said: “If 1 am selected for England and the M.C.C. instructs me not to bowl fast leg-theory I shall refuse to play. There has been far too much bad blood about the whole business. While glad it is now happily settled I cannot help feeling that I have been let down. My conscience is as clear to-day as when I left Australia.” Larwood added: u Unless I have another operation shortly, [ shall never be able to bowl again. My foot hurts acutely after any long walk. It is no better than when 1 first hurt it in Australia. ”
