THE AUSTRALIAN CRICKET SCANDALS.
GRAVE REPORTS AGAINST CRICKETERS’ CONDUCT.
PLAYING ABILITY NOT THE
ONLY NECESSITY
[UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPYRIGHT] (Received Dec. 7, 12.15 a.m.) SYDNEY, Dec. 6. It is rumored that the conduct, of several members of the Australian Eleven which recently toured England was extrkemly bad. The “Sun” newspaper alleges that the team as a whole was compelled to suffer for the delinquineies of the few, and to all intents and purposes the team was socially ostracised. The “Sun” adds that the report ot Crouch (the manager of the team) will be considered by the Board of Control in a few days. The paper says that Crouch states that while the conduct of the learn as a whole called for nothing but complimentary comment, the misdeeds of a few were such as to induce him to ask the Board to consider whether the selector* in future should not- consider something else besides playing ability when selecting a team. The report mentions no names.
