CRAWFORD WHITE writes on an astonishingly frank after-the-Tests interview with the great West Indies captain

WORRELL: ENGLISH CRICKETERS FOC

ARE BAD LOSERS "They must stop their cut-throat tactics"

Melbourne.

Frank Worrell, the West Indies Test captain, in a remarkably interview here said England's cricketers were annoying, unsociable on tours, and could not bear to lose.

wonderful, crowd - pulling cricket in the Test matches just ended.

Worrell, a former Manchester Uni- versity student and League player, answered my searching questions sincerely and without embarrassment.

Has the skill

My own view, however, is that blam- ing England for all the slow Test cricket of the past, and singling out England for playing too hard and tou seriously, is not an entirely acceptable argument. Bat Worrell is entitled to have his say after proving his spirit and leadership in this fine scrles out here.

ME: Can England and Aus- tralia hope to stage a series this summer az exciting as this series in Australla?

WORRELL, of course they can. England hus the skin, the talent,

and the great players. All the needs is the right ap- prosch.

It is important that it should be a good four. If it is not, and unfavourable reports Row back to Australia, strong efforts might be made to arrange Eng- land's visits every five years instead of every four, so that the West Intiles, who have made a big impact, could play more regularly in Australia.

Power needed

I am certain it would be better for some of your Tests to end in 3 days of exciting ericket then peter out in live. People want action-and beth England and Australia have the players to provide it.

Given absolute power to pre-) Arul this summer's series in England, what would you do?

I would simply get The coplains to agree that the game is as important as the result. We came to Australia mined to play eur free-scoring crickel regardless of results. Richie Benaud instine- tively took up the challenge and,

Benaud's help, has been the recipe for success.

Why, then, dist the West Indies score slower than Eng- land fast winter in the Weit Indies?

Allen blamed

That, again was a matter of approach. England's slow tac- ties are infectious, We became annoyed by the time they took to bowl their overs and at the conferences they held so often on the deld.

The man who annoyed us most was David Allen. (Glou- cestershire). Using a four-or five-yard run he took almost as long as Hall to get through an over. Baismen had time to get cold before the next ball.

I all aremed part of a delf- berate policy to go slow, We didn't mind Trueman and Sin- tham, who have long runs, buf Allen is too young for all this slow stuff,

We bowled 21 overs in 44% houra when we were up against it on the Saturday of the Bỉth Tell here in Australip. E02- lond would have bowled 45 at the meat.

As for thor field conferences. England's team is so full of county captains that confer- cac on the field should not be necessary. Men should move at the wave of a hanti. The confirences only pat the bats- men off. We feel that win or draw players have to keep the game going.
