I am told that Anderson was Bucky to get the decision in an 1.b.w. appeal when he was in the twenties, but, as in this case, there are hundreds of matches st and won on degision and who shall say who was right?. The only sure 1.5.w. decision I know is when both batsman, and bowler agree with the umpire in an adverse verdict, and then they are all wrong about five times in a hundred. It is mnr. C.
