This afternoon we are again taking listeners on a round of sporting events --each crucial in its own sphere-to Manchester for the second Test Match ; to Wimbledon where England will be defending her title as holder of the Davis Cup ; and to the village green at Tilford for the match of the year between Tilford and their old rivals The Bourne.
Here are some of the times of which you can be fairly certain:-
2.30 Wimbledon-Davis Cup
3.0 and 4.25 Old Trafford-
Test Match
England v. Ali India
5.0 Tilford-Village Cricket
Tilford v. The Bourne
Though listeners may be certain that they will be hearing about the Davis Cup at 2.30, the Test Match at 3.0 and again at 4.25, and the Village Cricket Match at 5.0, they may be hearing about any one of the three at any other times, for the aim of a broadcast like this is to take the listener to the point of greatest interest at the psychological moment. It is all the more difficult to arrange this when the psychological moment is
* unknown. There may be a dull spell in the Test, and some wonderful play taking place at Wimbledon. Again Tilford may be tumbling down the wickets of The Bourne or The Bourne knocking cricket balls through the window of The Barley Mow long before
5.0 (the match starts at 3.0). If so, the microphone will fade out at Old Trafford and the microphone in the Surrey village come into action.
Not only cricket lovers, but listeners in general will appreciate the unusual experience of hearing a Test match and a village cricket match in the same programme.
The village match is to be described by T. Woodrooffe , who played cricket for the Navy in most parts of the world before he retired with the rank of Lieut. - Commander, and there is an article on page 11 by Thomas Pearce , who was born in Tilford, watched the village cricket matches as a boy, and has played and umpired in them on many occasions.
An article on the Davis Cup will be found on page 6.

Its members are now all civilian professional musicians, but have been authorised by the Scots Guards to use the title by which they are known.
