Boon's Joy was tempered by the knowledge that he is suffering from a fmcture of the first knuckle of hla¦ right hand. This was revealed in an X-ray photograph Liten in New York, and as a result the British champion has had to wear pluster of on the damaged hand for a

Hammond's Hope
„In Farewell
"As far as I am concerned.
I hope this is the last timeless Test to be played between South Africa and England," declared
Wally Hammond, England's captain, in a fare- well message before leaving South Africa.
Hammond added that mat- ches and tours between South Africa and England should be more frequent and he thought the Springboks team to tour England next year would be very strong.
His final wards were about the wickets. "The grounds and wickets here are exceed- ingly good and that of the Wanderers is perhaps the best ground upon which I have ever played."
