CRICKET TESTS
DURATION OF GAMES, FOUR DAYS FAVOURED. i SMALL BALL AN IMPROVEMENT. (By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received December 7, 11.50 a.m. LONDON, Dec. 6. “The Oval test was an unqualified success and proves the necessity of the allocation of four days’ play,” said Sir Edwin Stockton at the annual meeting of the Lancashire Cricket Club. “Personally, I believe that a settled policy of four days’ play would be more satisfactory owing to England’s varying weather conditions.” The Australians would have to fight hard to regain the ashes, especially if more Lancashire players were included in English teams. He added that over-prepared wickets greatly handicapped the bowlers. A smaller ball was a reform in the right direction.—A. and N.Z. cable.
