MORE PRAISE FOR PETER MAY Anquetil wins Tour

His shrewd captaincy had the

Australians on the run

!!

Peter May seems to have got precious little praise for his work in his "come-back" game as England's captain. So here and now I want to say how much I admired the new zip he brought to the. England team.. From the moment that they walked on to the field at Headingloy, the Englishmen looked as if they meant business. And whenever you looked round you were never in any doubt as to who was in charge. May kept his delders alert, the Australians really got it. them out on Harvey off his long He shrewdly used his spear-firmly Axed in their heads that hend, Trueman, in short bursts there were devils in the wicket.

Not so bad

I think Peter May should be given far more credit for it than he has so far received. He was the main architect of this mag- nificent England win.

These facts, however, tended to become obscured behind the verbal dust clouds which wero raised over an admittedly bad Test wicket.
