CRICKET AT WHICH ALL MAY SHINE

EVERY PLAYER CAN BE AN EXPERT FIELDER

THROWING AN ESSENTIAL ART

(By H. H. GIBBONS, the Worcester Player) ONNECTED with the fielding side of cricket is one of the "minor mysteries" which are, so difficult to explain. Everybody seems to be agreed, in a general sort of way, that fielding is a very important part of the game. It is in the field that matches are often won and lost. Nobody disputes that

Yet. in spite of this general agreement, the amount of at- tention given to fielling is, in proportion to the attention given to batting and bowling, comparatively small

For instance, we hear before the start of every season --- and even during the season that this and that lot of play- ers are taking bowling and batting practice; but how seldom we hear of any set of cricketers taking fielding practice.

Again, in regard to the games, the skipper.
