Says DENNIS HART

No men in sport are more maligned than-successful fast bowlers really successful ones, that is. Whenever one appears who threatens to shatter the batsmen's mastery, precautionary measures are taken,

In the early 30's, Hurold Larwood's fast leg-theory caused the greatest cop. troversy cricket has ever known; discussions on the subject almost reached government level. The result: the theory and Larwood were hounded out of the game. Once more batsmen slept peacefully without fear of their averages, being sharply curtalled by the "Notts Express."¿»

TREVOR BAILEY SENT IN AS OPENING BATSMAN

London, May 27.

Rain affected all but one of the English first class cricket fixtures which began today.

Not a hall was bowled at Manchester in Lancashire's game against the Australians, while rain washed out play at Folkestone after only two Kent deliveries to Glamorgan's opening pair.

In a restricted day's cricket in the England Test Trial nt Birmingham, the experiment of using Trevor Bailey, Essex all rounder, as an opening batsman, and the form of Yorkshire's fast bowler Fred Trueman were the main points of interest.
