THE AGE, Saturday 26 July 1981 35 4LVi iirwJ -V-w Fewer bouncers, more overs is AGB's plan ml England calls on Taylor after losing French to Hadlee delivery LONDON, 25 July. Graham Dilley gave England an early breakthrough today as New Zealand reached two for 30 in reply to nine for 307 at Lord's in the first Test. England lost wicketkeeper Bruce French in the morning when he was concussed by a delivery from Richard Hadlee. Former Test star Bob Taylor, who RACK TALK rT, by Cathy Walks 2 was working for the sponsors as a public relations 1 3 Matty Walters, 13-year-old veteran, lands on his feet that there is too much short-pitched bowling," he said. Bennett also said that every country, except the West Indies, agreed with the Australian proposal for a law requiring a minimum of 15 overs an hour.

The West Indian pacemCn rarely bowl more than 12 overs ah and their opponents, even without the same complement of fast bowlers off lengthy runs, are unwilling to lift the rate when it is their turn to bowl. This led to the farcical situation in which the English spinners John Emburejr and Phil Edmonds bowled only 12 overs an hour when working in tandem on the recent tour of the Caribbean. "Our board believes that far too few overs are being bowled 14 Test cricket and there are far too many balls being bowled which are impossible to score from," -Bennett said: "What we are endeavoring to do is bring back that little bit of charm and present" Test cricket in a better light" Australia has already reached agreement with India and England to play a minimum of 15 overs an hour in the three-Test tour to the sub-continent, starting next month, and in the five-Test Ashes series here this summer. man in the pavilion, was called on to play. Taylor 45, retired from first-class cricket two years ago after playing in 57 Tests between 1971 and 1984.

He was allowed to deputise after permission had been sought from the tourists' captain Jeremy Coney. Bill Athey had stood in for the injured French during the first two overs of New Zealand's innings while Taylor went to collect his pads. As soon as he appeared for the third over Dilley grabbed his two wickets as New Zealand slid to two wickets for five in reply. Dilley bowled John wright for a duck with the score at two after the Kiwi opener had edged a fastlsh, full length ball into his leg stump. He struck again when Ken Rutherford edged Dilley to Graham Gooch, at second slip, who finally held the ball after juggling with it for a second or two.

By Trevor Grant Australia's cricket administrators will press ahead with two new proposals aimed at halting the rapid decline in the popularity of Test cricket The Australians want a law to make it compulsory to bowl 15 overs an hour in all Test matches and will also continue to canvas their controversial idea to limit the use of the short-pitched deliveries. The ACB chairman, Fred Bennett, wants the International Cricket Conference to change the law on bouncers, giving umpires the power to declare any ball bowled above the line of a batsman's shoulders (when he is In the normal stance position) a no-ball. This rule now applies in Australia's one-day competitions, but has so far been given only a lukewarm reception from the other Test-playing nations. The reaction has not deterred Bennett, who has just returned from the ICC annual meeting in London along with the ACB chief executive David Richards. Bennett says it is in no way an attempt to reduce the firepower of the West Indies, whose fast bowling quartet has been directly responsible for its dominance of world cricket for the past 10 years.

Bennett said yesterday that the informal discussions, introduced nctarmBnfMPoaBo, Fred Bennett too many short-pitched deliveries. by Australia, on this proposed rule-has led to an agreement for talks between the ACB and the chairman of the West Indies umpires' board. Lance Murray. He said the talks would take place in the next few months. "Our aim is to present to the ICC next year a proposed law on short-pitched bowling which will be better than the present one," said Bennett.

The current law allows an umpire to call a no-ball if he regards short-pitched bowling to be Intimi-datory and thus likely to cause -physical injury to the batsmen. But Bennett says umpires around the world are not applying this rule. "Every Test-playing country, including the West Indies, agrees Matty Walters and Sheriff: "Did you see at Oakland when the clerk of the course tried to stop him for me? He just went faster and left him for dead." CYCLING: Swiss cyclist Eric Maechler won the 21st stage of the Tour de France cycle race today. Greg Lemond of the US retained the overall race lead.

15. TENNIS: Defending champion Czechoslovakia and Argentina went through to the Federation Cup semifinals in Prague yesterday with wins over Australia and Austria, respectively. But in a big blow to third-seeded West Germany, Stefi Graf broke her toe on a falling umbrella stand and had to pull out of the tournament When he was 11, Matty Walters betas Ms riding career the hard way: be fell off a pony four times in ball a day. There began the swiftest of. crash courses in the art of horsemanship that saw him ride in his first pony steeple-chase Just three weeks later.

Matty, now 13, admitted yesterday that the last of these falls was actually when the pony was standing still, bat that didnt deter him from wanting to learn the craft that made bis adoptive father Graeme a hensehoM name In-New Zealand. Walters was known as "The King" among jumping Jockeys la the IMos and 1171s. Matty might never emulate bis father and win Grand Nationals and Great Northern Hurdles, but the bright-eyed Kyneton High School stndeat is already establishing himself as the doyen of youngsters who pilot their steeds in the pony polnt-to-petat hurdle races at the hunt club meetings throughout Victoria. Graeme Walters has been Matty's tutor and helped him train the ponies. He has also fended off accusations from friends that he is "too tough on the It would delight him If the lad became a professional Jockey, but be said firmly: "If he wanted to pull the pin, I'd say That's it.

You cant make a racehorse out of a horse that wont race." In this ease, the subject Is as keen as the best thoroughbred. But despite winning several pony races, Matty is unlikely to become big-headed about bis successes, which Include a narrow vie-tory in last Saturday's Oakland Hunt Club pony hurdle with the hairy, pigeon-toed Sheriff, a beast Walters outbid the knacker for at the Kyaetoa pony sales two years ago. Said Walters: "He ran a plaee with Sheriff at Chiltera recently and everyone said how well he rode it. I told him he rode it like a mug and I explained why. Border notes some English failings Results: CwdmtoMkia 4 Amtrmt 3-0: Mandhkova Turnbull 6-13-6 6- sukoa A Mtnter b- j-b 6-: MarukoaA Holikoa Thompson nolle 6-4 6-3.

Araartfcu Austria Wfc Satvitini Huber 6-2 5-7 6-4: Just went faster and left him for dead." Sheriff was a birthday present, but Red, a quarter-horse cross, was an accidental acquisition. "A guy asked Matty to ride Mm In a race at Weola-mai, said Walters. "He won on him and the trophy was a watch. The guy decided he liked the watch more than the pony, so he swapped him the watch for the pony." Walters' own distinguished career in the saddle ended like those of several of his peers with a crash. He broke his back in four places in the Wlmmera Grand National at Stawell ia August 1183 and has spent a great deal of the ensuing time recovering.

His injuries dont make bim try to dissuade Matty from riding over fences, which the boy hopes may become Ms career. "I try to teach him to do things right I dont want to see him get hurt" Matty has already had his first race-day fall, at the second fence in a pony hurdle at Rutherglen. "It was my own fault 1 should have been holding him back," said Matty, looking at Graeme for confirmation. Next year hell line up against the senior amateur riders in the point-to-point steeplechases, but he will hardly be the new boy. And as his father points out, he has all the summer school holidays to improve his style.

"As we were leaving Oakland's the other day he said, Thanks Graeme for going erook at meat Chiltern' and I was really rapt He's past the stage of Just being able to sit on and steer. He bas to think about tactics now." Walters' tough attitude to the boy might stem from bis own youth. He recalls: "I wsa the first race I ever rode in and I thought I was George Moore. I got home grinning from ear to ear and the boss kicked me up the arse and said, 'Who do you think you arer I dldat win another race for 19 months." At a stage when teeaage boys are variously engaged ia football, Space Invaders or scrawling graffiti on trains, Matty already counts riding as bis Job. He rises at six eacb morning and takes Sheriff for bis dally workout around the Kynetoa roads.

Still, he admits shyly that once be sneaked down to the nearby racecourse ia the cover of Sam blackness to give the pony a sprint-up for a race.

Instead, the Australian captain who had just led his country to another Test series defeat was flying home to Queensland for a brief stopover to collect his family before heading back to England for a season on the county cricket treadmilL While those around Mm held genuine fears that this additional commitment would aggravate rather than alleviate the pressures which led him to the brink of resignation ia New Zealand, Border maintained all along that it would revitalise him. Anyway, he says sun-baking and sipping beer on a tropical beach would only make him lazy. As his summer with Essex draws to a close, it appears his judgment was correct Far from being drained and despondent he talks with surprising effervescence about the arduous program that is ahead of the Australians: three Tests aad six one-day internationals in India from late August to mid-October before a five-Test Ashes series in Australia and who knows how many one-dayers against England, West Indies and Pakistan.

There are good reasons for us to feel that a successful summer is ahead of us," said Border. After losing successive series to New Zealand, escaping with a lucky draw against India and surrendering the Ashes la England in the space of eight months, such optimism could be seen as excessive. But Border's conclusion has due by the end of November been drawn more from his estimate of the strength of the opposition rather thaa aay swift changes in the development of this young and vulnerable Australian team. Border, who is rarely given to making unkind observations about the efforts of other Test teams, said it would be impossible not be critical of the English players' performance this northern summer, even given the limited time they had to purge from their minds the horrors of another caning from the West Indies. The Indians played well but the Englishmen certainly succumbed to the pressure.

The wickets for the first two Tests were extremely difficult for batting but one side coped a lot better than the other," be said. Border said the outcome of the series would hinge oa the Australian attack. "If the bowlers can keep the pressure on, the Englishmen will fold. That looks pretty obvious from the series against India," he said. "Last year against us they looked like they would be the best batting combination England has ever aad.

But that was probably helped by the fact that we bowled so badly to them at times." But all that of course, needs one important qualification aad it is Border who offers It Aa English team without Iaa Botham may have a alee, comfortable air about It la the dressing room but it also has aa Moonee Valley seems sure to be grant By Qtenn Lester The VRC working party investigating Sunday racing hopes to finish its report by the end of November. The group met for the second time yesterday and later announced its terms of reference and the probable length of its inquiries, which will follow two paths. The working party's terms of refer ence will cover the proposed race meeting at Moonee Valley on Sunday 28 ed a meeting the day after VFL Grand Final, but how far-reaching the legislation will be when introduced in State Parliament in September remains to be seen. If the Government waits for the working party's more general report, legislation to amend the Racing Act and allow a number of Sunday meetings may not be put to the Parliament until later. In other racing news yesterday.

Sir Donald and Lady Trescowthick announced a multi-million dollar expansion of their thoroughbred interests with the purchase of Toolern Vale Park Stud and the stallion Karaman. The announcement said vendors Mr and Mrs John Sudak were retiring from the throughbred breeding industry September and Sunday racing in general in Victoria. to be considered in the overall examination of the Sunday racing question, including industry economics, the horse population, utilisation of racecourses, the present number of raced ays, the other codes, media coverage and the effect on the public of Victoria. Phil Power, the director of racing and gaming with the Victorian Department of Sport and Recreation, attended yesterday's meeting. It was also decided to begin "initial consultations" with industry groups next Monday and continue on Wednesday.

Representatives of the trainers, jockeys, owners, farriers, bookmakers and racehorse transport association will join in Monday's discussions. Border. Botham brought "a lot of the trouble on himself' alarming lack of resilience, where it matters most. No matter how rebellious. Insolent or potentially divisive he-can be, Botham has a above aad beyond all other English cricketers of the current era, to turn a match on its head.

"He bats best when the team is 5125. It's then he's most likely to peel off a hundred. That's what England has been missing," said Border. Border expects Botham, whose two-month suspension ends in time for him to play the last two Tests against New Zealand and get the two wickets he needs to. pass Dennis Lillee's world record, to be one of the first selected for the Australian tour.

But while his respect for his close mate's cricketing ability remains as high as ever, the Australian skipper won't be panicked by his presence. "For all the great things he's done, he has never come close to the heights he reached in England on tours of Australia or any-where else overseas," said Border. "He could have added, impetus this time because he will be out to prove how much be means to the side. But It could also work the other way. He might well say 'stuff it, 111 play out this series', aad then get out of tbe game." It is obvious that Border's friendship with Botham bas not clouded his judgment of the issues upon which the press, and, ultimately, the Test and County Cricket Board were forced to rule earlier in the English season.

"He's probably brought a lot of the trouble upon himself," said Border. "Over the years there has always been that underlying suspicion lie's been up to no good oa tours. It has all been covered up in tbe past, I suppose. Finally when it came out something had to be done." Some Australians might feel a little more certain of the fate at tbe Ashes if Botham spent the coming English winter on another charity walk. It announced yesterday that it would submit a report on the Moonee Valley meeting -to the VRC committee by the end of August and would try to finish its other report on the general desirabil ity or racing on Sundays by the end of November.

Clubs would be placed in divisions according to their on-field performance, financial management and facilities. Galimberti would have no qualms about sending clubs such as likely first division wooden-spooner Camberwell straight into division three because of inadequate performances and facilities. Galimberti wants the VFA to act on an altered competition now, before the VFL organises a national competition. Andersen said that while Ga-limberti's plan was "not inconsistent with what FORT is it was "a little presumptive" to expect the VFA to act without first considering the implications of a national competition. "There is still a possibility' VFL clubs could come back to the VFA and until that possibility is exhausted it would be unwise to act," said Andersen.

There will be no change to the VFA competition next year, but plans are afoot for a 24 or 26-team, three-division competition in 1988. The VFA's Football Organisation Review Team (FORT), which is due to report its findings on the future direction of the VFA soon, is considering Introducing the extra division. There are now 10 teams in division one and 12 in division two. VFA president Brook Andersen is on record as being interested in a three-division competition and has suggested that teams from the Diamond Valley, Melton and Kei-lor areas could join the VFA. Yesterday, Andersen said that even if a decision was reached very soon, it would be too late to change anything next year.

"It is too premature to talk about the make-up of the competition. The main thing is that we get the re- port right rather than' put it up half-baked," said Andersen. Sandringham secretary Dennis Galimberti has given FORT a report recommending a three-tiered competition.
