BRITISH SPORT IS ON THE WAY BACK

WEST INDIANS WANT THE AUSTRALIANS TO TOUR THEIR ISLANDS

SAYS PETER DITTON

On September 16 the Australian Cricket Board are to discuss whether an invitation should be extended to the West Indies to send a tear to Australia, probably in 1951 - 52. But even if the decision is favourable, I do not think such a tour would come off.

The West Indies naturally enough are "cock-n-hoop” after their victory over England in this country this summer. They are keen, indeed anxinus, that a "conqueror" with Australia should he played as soon as possible to decide which country holds cricket supremacy.

A series of five Tests between the Caribbean countries and Australia would undoubtedly be a great moncy-spinner and, in theory, should provide some of the brightest cricket seen in recent years.
