"Leg Theory" and L.B.W. Rule
To
The Editor,
The Hong Kong Telegraph. Dear Sir,
With reference to the Article (in regard to "Leg Theory" Bowling and the L.B.W" Rule) by Mr. Howard Marshall in the London Daily Noie graph set out in the Sports Column page appearing in your issue of the 15th Instant, and particularly with to the Table showing the regard percentages of "L.B.W." decisions to wickets taken in the years there mon- tioned, I send you herewith an ex- tract from The Times newspaper of the 13th ultimo in respect of the match between Middlesex and Hampshire
A Cutmore century helped Essex second total along to 297 for 0 wickets, when the closure was applied, and with Nicols and Dacr again bowling unchanged and proving even more effective than in the first innings, Sussex had no chance of hitting off the required 407 runs.
Leicester, after batting first and declaring at 351 for 9, had the mortification of secing. Worcester overhaul this score and put 427 on the board before dismissal. A drawn match was inevitable.
