ONE INVALID PER TRIP
HAS BEEN THE
FATE OF MCC TOURS
By ARCHIE QUICK
ON
Have you noticed how MCC tours of Australia scem fated to have at least one invalid early in the trip?
There was the case of Sam Staples, the Notting- hamshire slow bowler, who had to be sent home through illness soon after Percy Chap- man's party had landed in 1928. More recent- ly, Jim McConnon, also a slow bowler, this time of Glamorganshire, broke down on last MCC visit Down Under. And now there is Willie Watson.
