RESULTS WILL DEPEND

ON THE WICKETS; IF IT'S WET I NOMINATE ENGLAND

By BRUCE DOOLAND

That all-out-for-94 Aussie shock at Bradford sandwiched between those mammoth scores at Leicester and then against us at Nottingham had dozens of earnest cricket fans coming along to ask: "What does it all add up to?”

Frankly, to me, it adds up to the fact that more than ever before the fate of the coming Test series may well rest on the state of the weather and the wickets.

If we get it wet I expect England to romp home. For the hard fact is that to most of the young Australians the tricks of wet wicket hatting are mysteries as yet unseen. In Australia the wickets are always covered in rain and they just don't know a thing about them.

That is the ambition of 20-year-old Belfast medical student who, compeling for Queen's University in Triangular match at Belfast on May 5, set a world women's high-jump record of 5 ft. 811⁄2 in. This jump. 1'; in, more than her own height, added three-eighths of an inch to the record put up by Alexandra C'hudina, of Russia, in 1954.

Thelma, who was busy studying at home the following day, told me: “My coach, Franz Stampft, thinks 6 ft. is possible, and as I was well clear of the bar on Saturday I think perhaps I may be able to do it, one day.”"

COACHING HINT:

GIRLS LEARN SAILING IN ROYAL YACHT

K192

Two girls enger to learn how to sall suddenly found themselves being taught on Blue- hottle, the racing yacht owned by Britain's Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh.

Florence Mloatt, 27-year-old London student norse, and Ann Massinghams, 24-year-old Eastbourne hairdresser, spent a week on a sailing course run by the Central Council of Physical Recreation.

For a couple of days they had pottered around in dinghies off Hayling Island. Then Lieutenant- from across the Solent came Bluebottle, walled by the Duke's mailing master, Commander Graham Mann.

Said sailing course organiser John Bradley: "Nearly a dozen owners had promised to lend us their yachts for the students' courses, and Bluebolile is ons of them. She will be here for the rest of the week."

When Ann and Florence came down to the shore he told them: “There's the beat you will be going out in this afternoon. The girls spent the rest of the day sailing in the trim, blue-hulled rayal Dragon class yacht.

"What marvellous salling, and what a surprise!" they said afterward.
