THE CHINA MAIL, THURSDAY, JUNE 24, 1964.

A Lot Of Tarpaulins And Wooden Boxes Can Be Bought For £1,000

Says DENIS COMPTON

It always surprises me that the arrangements to cope with bad weather in cricket are still so inadequate. More often than not when the "no play" signs are put up on the first day the pitch is fit for play, but the surrounding areas are so wet and muddy that cricket is out of the question.

This is usually because the only part of the square protected from the rala has been the 22-yard strip on which the game is to be played.

COUNTY CRICKET

FRANK LOWSON IN FINE FORM AGAINST ESSEX

London, June 23.

Frank Lowson, Len Hutton's opening county partner, was in fine form against Essex in the County Cricket Championship today and may be considered to replace the injured Len Hutton as opening batsman for England against Pakistan in the Second Test next week.

Lowson, scoring mainly by straight driving, was only two runs short of his second century in successive matches when he fell to a grand catch by Trevor Balley at silly mid-on.
