(concerning a cricket tour in Denmark in 1954) (09/07/54)
Perhaps this is a good place to say how much we owe to our umpire, Stanley Bridgman. His wisdom and impartiality, on and off the field, add greatly to the happiness of the tour. The same goes for our cheerful, unselfish and conscientious scorer, Ralph Pratley, who has stood down from every game in Denmark to fulfil his unimportant duty - and always done it with a smile, Well, we were able to give him plenty of work yesterday! |
