NOT AT £260 FOR FIVE MONTHS' STRENUOUS CRICKET
SAYS CHARLES BRAY
What does a great cricketer like Denis Compton or Len Hutton make out of a Test tour? This is the question sportsmen are asking following unofficial reports that South Africa's Cricket Board of Control has under discussion the payment of a sub- stantial bonus to professionals in England's unbeaten touring team. *
No pistol has been placed at the Board's head, but it has learned the English players' views on the question.
Players like Compton or Hutton are at the very top of their profession as, for example, are Gracie Fields in vaudeville, Freddie Mills in boxing, Donald Budge or Fred Perry in professional Inwn tennis.
Although members of a team, these cricketers = kro
