CRICKET EXPERIENCES WORTH HEARING “ONLY ONE I EVER EDGED”
(By “THE TWELFTH MAN")
London, November 16. RECENTLY spent an enjoyable and amusing evening in the company of Pat Hendren and Andy Sandham. It was enjoyable to hear these! two confirming one another's stories of cricket experiences both at home and on tour, and amusing to hear them fencing with one another.
Referring to Hammond's bowling feat with the new ball in Australia, Hendren commented that every bowler really bowled better with the new ball, to which opening batsman Sandham retorted, "What do you know about the new ball”
Sandham has a dry humonr which he reveals at "the most unexpected moments. When Hendren referred to a remarkable slip catch he made in his younger days to dismiss Sandham— "I was sorry to do it,” he said — Sandham chipped in with the remark, “The only one I ever edged.”

Both agreed that the fastest bowling and the fastest wicket they had ever had to face was Constantine bowling on the wicket at Barbados. Many were the anecdotes of cricket on tour in the West Indies that they told, probably the best being Hendren's of a match in which he had made a lot runs and volunteered to sur- render his wicket to one of the locals if he went on to bowl.
