Wants Alteration In The Rules Of Cricket
Smaller Ball To
Aid Bowlers `
(By Vernon Morgan, Reuters Sport Editor) London, July 27. The Indian-born England cricketer, Douglas Jar- dine, most famous of all English cricket cap- tains of the present generation, wants the laws of cricket changed. That is news with a very big "N," and must have caused the ghost in the hallowed pavilion at Lords to shake their old bones.
