SANDHAM'S FINE

Brilliant Batting
· Against Indians
FISHLOCK'S BAD LUCK
Surrey made a pile of runs! against All India last month, but the innings that stood out for sheer beauty of batting was that of Andrew Sandham, who has been the mainstay of Surrey's bat- ting in recent years.
Sandham joined the as long ago

1920 has made 1,000 runs in cach season and eight times has topped 2,000. He has toured Australia, South Africa and the West Indies, and although a repetition of his scores would be tedious, the fact remains that no one in England| during the last 15 years has play- ed fast bowling with cnim assurance as Sandham.

When Henry Cotton was pre- paring to pitt on the 12th green during his third rounč, in the recent British Open spectator with a cine-caMETA started to take a film.
Cotton stopped, turned round and said: "I will not putt until that man is removed; he has annoyed me all the way round.”
A policeman went forward and asked the spectator to stop filming or leave the course.
There was a cheer from the gallery at Colton's action.
