(BY NO QUARTER).
Shades of the past! The click of bat against ball under the shadow of the old elm tree, the sweet feel of the willow against the spinning leather sphere. Those verdant fields where muscular clergymen forged the keel of England's 'valiant vessel! And to what end? The question is purely rhetorical. What I mean to say is that we have gone and lost another series of test matches. In the days when to be an Englishman meant a good deal more than exploring every avenue to find a formula, we used not to lose Test Matches. We used even to win them, though I understand that by the present rules of the game, that is now mercifully impossible..

Should he strike. him above the belt, that is a had thing, and is called body line; this renders the bowler liable to be pelted with abuse, and old oranges.
