1. Time-wasting was criticised. At last cricket administrators decided this aspect of play and captaincy was to the detriment of the game.

2. Drag was under notice. Umpires were trying to work off the front foot and one of the officials concerned in the Griffin throwing incidents, Syd Buller, an outstanding umpire, was to be a key man in that aspect of the game when we toured England in 1961.

3. Pitches should not be damaged by bowlers in their follow-through was another recommendation. Correct. We had already seen to our detriment in Australia, in 1958, what damage could be done, and we were about to see it very much to our advantage in 1961.

4. Batsmen using their pads instead of their bat came under fire, as should have been the case many years earlier. There was thought given to bringing in a Law that a batsman could be out lbw not playing a stroke, even if the ball pitched outside off stump.
