THE LONG ROOM AT LORD'S HAS ACCEPTED THE CRICKET REVOLUTION

By GERALD PAWLE

The government of cricket is popularly supposed to be in the hande of a body of grey-bearded elders whose spiritual home is the Long Room at Lord's,

There, rumour has it, they drowse through the long summer days exchang. Ing reminiscences of Ranji and Dr Grace, lamenting the departure of Glibert Jessop and, above all, deploring such modern innovations as the appointment of a profes- sional captain of England,

One day last week I set out to discover just what the Long Room thinks of the latest cricket revolution, and I have to report that there is no revolt in the Long

room.

Charlie Grove, Warwickshire's 39-year-old fast medium bowler, achieved the at finest bowling feat of his long County cricket career when he took nine Sussext wickets for 39 runs at Birmingham today.

Bowling unchanged until lunch, Grove had taken eight wickets by the in- terval, but directly afterwards Eric Hollies took a wicket, thus depriving Grove of the chance to take all 10..
