WELCOME INNOVATION

IN SCOTTISH CRICKET

New L.B.W. Law Will Curb

Pad Play And Have

IMPORTANT

POINTS FOR BATSMEN

(BY COVER POINT)

ex-

London. April 21, The paramount feature of the Cricket season in Scotland will be

the of the Introduction perimental leg-before-wicket law. which was adopted last season in English County games and in the The Tests with South Africa.

Western Scottish Counties, the Union, and the Strathmore Union have wisely decided to fall into line, and this, for one thing, will ensure no repetition of the tarce pf a year ago, when the South Africans were met at Broughty Ferry."

have been allowed to defend their wicket with their pads when they had not the ability to do so with the bat...

This rule seeks to balance things, and is long overdue. Personally I would have gone much further, for,! I cannot see why the off-break. bowlers should be classed in a different category from those who bowl the more difficult leg breaks.

The fact that pad play is still permitted in their case is enough to put the leg-break bowlers out of existence,

Perhaps the M.C.C, will consider this additional change later on, or

None of the Scottish Associations had adopted the eccommendations. yet the international side had to conform to the conditions pertain-it may be that they are infiuenced ing in England They were at a big enough disadvantage without adding this handicap, and it had no doubt something to do with the poor show made

.:

One finds many people very hazy about the interpretation of the rule -indeed, it was improper under- standing that caused a good deal of opposition to it.

WHEN PAD PLAY IS TABOO The idea got abroad, not,enly in Scotland but in England alsu, that If the ball broke from the off and hit any part of the batsman's per- son except his hand, ard in the opinion of the umpire would have hit the wicket, the striker was out. This interpretation is quite wrong.

A batsman is still entitled to use. his pads, but he must not do so within the parallelogram formed by an imaginary line drawn to touch off 'the "outside of the leg and wickets at each end. ...For example, if the ball pitches" outside and breaks and the bats- man corers up within the prescrib- ed area he is out. If, however, the ball follows the same course and the striker moves so far across that the part of his body which impedes the ball's progress is without the

by the financial aspect. Few of the Counties in England have a super- abundance of money, and I bowl- ers gained the upper hand more matches might be completed in two instead of the regulation three days.

With the game now largely pro- fessional, the financial viewpoint must be seriously considered, and It is this question which will doubt- less decidé future procedure."
