Glamorgan v. West Indies
Commentaries by E. W . Swanton from Bramall Lane, Sheffield, and by John Arlott from Arms Park, Cardiff
Listeners to the Light Programme cricket broadcasts this week-end will note a contrast both in style of. play and of commentary. We take you in turn to Bramall Lane. Sheffield, where E. W. Swanton describes the first of the annual battles between Yorkshire and Lancashire, and to Arms Park, Cardiff, for John Arlott 's account of the game between Glamorgan and the West Indies. Bramall Lane conjures up visions of smoking chimneys and the most critical and cricket-conscious crowd in the country; of a dour struggle between bat and ball, with no quarter given or expected. The last Battle of the Roses in Sheffield, in 1948, ended in a draw, in favour of Yorkshire.
When the West Indies last went to
Cardiff, in 1939. they lost by seventy-three runs, thanks largely to a century by W. Wooller. the present Glamorgan captain, and sixty-four by H. Davies , the wicket-keeper. Wooller also took five wickets in the second innings. Rex Alston
