The othertwo articles report on the second andthird day’s play in the match M.C.C.v Australians, Lord’s 20th-23rd May1972. Arlott comments on an‘absorbing if slow-going day’ withAlan Ward making ‘a convincinglypowerful effort to retain his Testplace’ taking three wickets includingthat of Ian Chappell first ball. Otherhighlights of the day included fivewickets for Ashley Mallett. The finalreport covers the final day whichresulted in an unlikely win for

Australia ‘by four [sic] wickets withthree balls to spare.

Massie in his frist Test matchtook five for 75... Greig, with topscore, handsomely made, againincreased his standing as a Testplayer’. Rain had delayed the start byan hour and ‘The pallid looking pitchwas true with little pace or life, butthe new ball swung sharply under themorning cloud’. Having bowled longspells, and with England at 200 forseven, ‘the English innings lookedripe for destruction but Massie andLillee simply had not enough energyto carry it out’.

The matchended on the fourth day ‘whenAustralia beat England by eightwickets’ to level the series, ‘alreadymore exhilirating [sic] than any formore than a decade’ at 1-1. ‘Australiadid not merely deserve to win; theywon positively’. Arlott describes GregChappell’s ‘authority’, and IanChappell and Rod Marsh’s ‘gusto’and ‘no English bowler had such anunsettling effect as Lillee or beat the

stroke more often than Massie’ whotook another eight wickets in thesecond innings. ‘Only two bowlers-Laker, 19, and S.F. Barnes, 17- haveever taken as many wickets in a Testas Massie’s 16’. Handwrittenalterations and deletions in Arlott’shand. G £150/250

105 Don Bradman. A fascinatingcollection of correspondencebetween Bradman and ChristopherMartin-Jenkins, then editor of ‘TheCricketer’ magazine relating to short-pitch bowling. The first letter is aresponse to an editorial in theOctober 1984 issue of ‘TheCricketer’, written by ChristopherMartin-Jenkins, in which the subjectof intimidatory short pitched bowlingwas raised, including the possible

introduction of measures such asincreasing the length of the pitch,painting a line on the pitch, restrictingthe bowler’s run up to ten yards, or achange in the law such that abatsman is not out caught if the ballhad struck the glove or bat handle.Bradman responds to these ideas in asingle page typed letter dated 3rdOctober 1984 to Martin-Jenkins,having read the article ‘with interest...and astonishment’. Bradmanacknowledges the need to remove‘intimidation as a tactic’ but lays theblame with umpires ‘unwilling toexercise a moral judgement’. His viewon the abolition of batsmen being outoff the glove ‘is an illogical and stupidway of trying to solve [the issue]’,and that the idea of lengthening thepitch ‘would be equally absurd,penalising batsmen of all types’.Bradman concludes by questioningwhether the LBW law is adequate forspinners. ‘Don’t support remedieswhich don’t make sense... I believeyou are on the wrong track’. Signed‘Don’. In Martin-Jenkins’ typed copyreply, dated 11th October 1984, hequotes statistical evidence supportingthe concept of lengthening the pitchin proportion to the growing heightof bowlers over time and increasedspeed through ‘modern nutrition andphysical training methods’. Bradmanreplies on the 30th October with alengthy three page typed letterreiterating his views in strong termson ‘the foolishness of the “not outcaught” idea’ and that lengtheningthe pitch would be unfair to slow andmedium paced bowlers. He usescolourful language such as ‘utterfallacy’, ‘arrant rubbish’, and is‘totally unmoved by your argument’,refuting the view that modernbowlers are ‘fitter, stronger andfaster’ and provides lengthyanecdotal evidence. He closes with arequest that his views are not to bepublished but is happy for this letterto be shown to Jim Swanton ‘andwould be interested to know his re-action’. Signed ‘Don’. In Martin-Jenkins’ reply of 8th November heacknowledges that the change tocatches off the glove ‘would not be agood thing’, but does not accept allof Bradman’s arguments about fastbowlers, and further supports theintroduction of a line across the pitch.On 28th November Bradman

suggests the introduction into Testmatches of a wide off a short ball, aswas already the case in limited overcricket, but suggests that the‘stumbling block would be the WestIndies... because they would regard“anything” as a move to blunt theirfire power. Signed ‘Don’. Latercorrespondence in 1992 relates toBradman’s agreement to the ‘returnto the back foot for judging a no-ball’, and readdresses the subject oflengthening the distance betweenthe two creases, and the supposedincrease of the average height ofplayers over time. He providesinteresting evidence from a bookwritten by W.G. Grace in 1891 inwhich Grace quoted the height andweight of players of his era, and listsnumerous players over six foot inheight, including Grace himself whowas 6’ at the age of sixteen. Signed‘Don Bradman’. Finally, Martin-Jenkins responds on 23rd June 1992by thanking Bradman for his trouble,but that this ‘has not altered my viewthat it would be desirable to at leastexperiment with some matchesplayed by first-class cricketers withthe stumps set a foot further back ateither end and with the old back foot[no-ball] law in operation’.
