I. R. C. JUST ESCAPE DEFEAT
(By R. Abbit)
A somewhat unusual incident occurred in the senior. cricket league match between 1.R.C. and K.C.C. last Saturday which saw the dismissal of a batsman, and later encouraged some clubhouse controversy on a paint of cricket law. Below, R. Abbit, the Telegraph's cricket correspondent explains. what happened and points out the law which governed the Incident.
On Friday last in my article I remember remarking that if the shock attack of the I.R.C.—Pereira and Minu—was fackled successfully, there was not very much more to come. And so it proved on Saturday. Once they were held there was little to relieve them and the K.C.C. very nearly brought off an unexpect- ed victory. It seems as though Goodwin's return ás a regular member of the side of which he is now captain has, besides strengthening the bowling enormously, put new life into the batsmen, who were all having a bad patch at the same time.
They were fortunate enough to bat ↑ Umpire has called “Over" the ball is Bryan Grant, the American lawn firal on a wicket which was on the "Dead", but an appeal may be made whole very good, though, as it was a as to whether either batsman is out; tennis player, has been offered bit. wet on top to start with, it took such appeal, however, shall not be 000 dollars (£6,000) to turn profes-spin and was a shade on the slow made after the delivery of the next Rional by Bill O'Brien, the promoter.
