WAR TO BE WAGED ON "SUPER WICKETS”

Aftermath Of The

Recent Timeless. Test At Durban

Edinburgh, Mar, 15.

-The neatest comment so far on timeless Tost matches appears to be that made by Herbert Sut- cliffe, discussing the game at Durban yesterday. "Perhaps," he said, "in the next series of Tests they will play one innings in England and another in South Africa.” ·

Nelson, in the Rand Daily Mall maintains that England were, on the whole, the better alde, but South Africa were not far behind. "Un-

less the Imperial Cricket Conference can find some satisfactory solution regarding over-prepared wickets, very few Tests in future will be cam- pleted in four days," he said..

Sir Pethum had led up to this re- mark hy saying. There is a lot of rash talk about timeless Tests, but they are making the game more les at endurance. Personally would like to see Ave-day Texts in England and six-day matches in Australia and South Africa. I seems that the character of the play in these matches has changed in recent years, and that many "batsmen disregard their natural methods for unneccs- sary caution.

There is also told of a war on wickets from Australia. A big effort to speed up wickets in Sydney is to be made by the New South Wales

Association. The authorities of al grounds on which grade cricket is played have been asked for reports from their groundsmen, giving the following information:--

1. Methods adopted in preparing wickets; weight of roller; sull used,

2. Opinions on methods of making wickets faster.

Later, it is intended to hold a con- ference of groundsmen tu discuss the matter comprehensively,
