Robins hits out at cricket's prima donnas

Port of Spain, Feb. 3. Batsmen who do not walk away immediately when given out were criticised by England's team managar, Mr Walter Robins, hero today.

Mr Robins, who was speaking after England's win Dvor West Indies in the second Test, said:

"Neither does it help the umpires. The umpires don't want bodyguards. They want players who play the game in the right way."-China Mali Special,
