One obvious difference be- tween the two captains Was whenever an Australian player did anything noteworthy he re- ceived a friendly smile or a pat from Don Bradman, while Wally Hammond never made the same thoughful gesture to the English players, says Scu

Scult.

His article declares that there the were too many uppeals In Test matches, both by the Eng-

ishmen and Australians.

Ian Johnson, Ernlo Toshack and Colin McCool were the worst offenders.
