The Bowler's Attack Should Be Based On Temperament,

Reason And Intuition

that

Cricket is a continual battle of wits, and bowlers should remember their attack must be based on temperament, reason and intuition. Providing a reasonable command of length has been acquired, the rest is largely a frame of mind, a matter of intelligence.

One fact stands out prominently in the dozens of bowlers, namely the disgust felt by so many because collect a quota of wickets.

Says IVAN SHARPE

"We are trying to make a reasonably good wicket, that will give both batsmen and bowlers a fair and equal chance." So says Dr J. Bowling Holmes, Chairman of Lancashire, on whose ground at Old Trafford the Third Test with South Africa be- gan on Thursday.
