PROTECTING THE WICKET. FOR ATTENTION OF MASTERS OF

THE LEICESTERSHIRE PROPOSALS OUTLINED, 7 The committee of the Leicestershire County Cricket Club has submitted, for consideration and opinion the following suggestion to the executives of all frst and second class counties

That an alteration in the rules of cricket giving power and authority to protect the whole af the wicket during the twenty-four hours previous to the begiming of a match; would be in the in Lerest af the game itself, of the cricket public, and of the county cricket clubs. The protection is suggested for use only in the twenty-four hours previous to the start of the match, not at any time after that.

The M.C.C. recently ruled that it is not advisable in the best interests of cricket to cover the whole wicket during the progress of a match. The committee of the LCC.C. respectfully and cor- dially approves this ruling, and this: scheme recognises that potpt.

"Supposing a County, match starts at 19 o'clock on Saturday the covering could only be applied on Friday at 12 o'clock noon, and would be finally remos

ed just before noon on Saturday in time

the wicket. The advantage of this tni- tation of time to 24 hours would be that it would not produce hard standar- sed wickets, because if there was rain on the Thursday or Friday morning, the covering could only be applied on Friday at noun. The protection from Friday Doon to Saturday noon. would not pro- duce a hard wicket, it merely guards the wicket from ang further rain falling be tween noon on Friday to noon on Satur day, and thus make play possible at the appointed time at noon on Saturday, when the covering would be finally re- moved and the vagaries of our climate would be given full play for the rest of the watch. In this way, there would be assured during the course of matches all variations of wickets.

It might at first thought be suggested that this gives an advantage to the ide winning the toss, but that advantage exists under the present system where a side bats first on a hard true wicket, or on winning the toss it jums its opponents Fin on a treacherous wicket.

"I the protection of covering the wicket 24 hours before the start of a match was allowed the wicket would not stand the same chance of being so badly cut up by those who bat on it first. Thus the other side when they batted would not be placed at such a disadvan tage as prevails-nader the present syg;

tem.

THE QUESTION OF LUCK.

"In cricket the luck of the toss should not be considered from a single instance. but from a whole season. It is generally recognised that in a whole season the lack of tossing comes out with fairly even re- sults for all parties.

"The suggested protection" of the wicket and additional area to ensure bowlers foothold would benefit the inter-i ests of the game by tending to do away with vexatious delays which now occur. The sun may be shining with blue sky overhead on Saturday, but owing to heavy rain during Friday night or early on Saturday morning no play may be possible until four or five o'clock on Saturday afternoon, or not at all, to the intense disappointment of the cricket public and players. The heavy loss in gate receipts in consequence is obvious.

The struggle which so many county cricket clubs have in regard to finance would, we submit, be mitigated by the suggested protection. This reference to, the financial interest of the clubs is no mercenary one; an increased and more assured revenue means that the clubs will be more efficiently worked and controlled.s to the advantage alike of the game itself, the cricket public, the players, and the county cricket clubs.

In conjunction with the interests of) the county clubs, the interests of the cricket public, we respectfully submit, should be most seriously considered, in regard to this suggested innovation. The popularity of cricket from the public standpoint is unquestionably affected by some of the irritating delays which na take place. If some of these were re- moved there would be a greater induce ment both to membership and popular support.

During the twenty-four hours preced- ing the start of the match the heal groundsman would have entire freedom of action in regard to the use of the covering, e, he could remove it and replace it in accordance with climatic conditions and his judgment. His bon-1 our in regard to the right use of the hose has in past times always been trusted: he could be equally trusted in regard to the protective covering,
