...TIME, Feb. 27), Britain's able Bowler Harold Larwood was met at Suez by British sports editors. They offered him ?1 per word for the inside story of what happened in the test matches. In the third match Larwood had hit two Australian batsmen, on the head and chest. The crowd bar racked (jeered) him.
