BARRACKING
"Asset To Cricket" -
"We hear far too much about barracking
in cricket," said Mr. M. A.
Noble, Australia's
former
test captain,
in an address" to young cricketers
at the New South Wales Cricket
Association rooms
in
Sydney
this
week, "but barracking is really
an
asset to the game."
"I firmly believe," said Mr. Noble,
"that the barracker is impartial and
impersonal.
One must expect to be
barracked if one fields badly or misses
a catch; but, generally speaking, barracking
is caused by sheer enthusiism.
It must be
remembered
that
both sides get their share of it."
"We have been severely criticised
for our Australian
barracking,
but
there is great barracking in England
as well.
I can remember on oii£ occasion
the barrackers
singing
"The
Dead March in Saul" at the famous
Lords ground, and on another occasion,
when I was
batting
against
time, a barracker yelled out, 'Put a
rope round his neck and drag
him
out.' "
Mr'. Noble added
that
barracking
was world-wide.
