BOSANQUET'S BOTHERING

BREAK.

AND HOW TO GET IT.

BY P. A. VAILE.

I have never seen an explanation in any paper or book which would enable a bowler to obtain an off-break with an apparent leg break delivery. On the other hand, i have seen it stated in papers of high standing in London that English cricketers do not under stand how the break is obtained.

This certainly should not be sa. There la no break within the capacity of any spinning ball that I would not guarantee to reproduce,

NEWS EGGS FOR COLUMBUS,

When once this point is thoroughly grasped it seems to me to make the explanation of off break with apparent legehrenk delivery so abundantly clear that it is a matter for surprise that with all our wealth of cricketing writers it has remained unexplained so long.

The batsman can see clearly that the ball is not a common'off-break, yet is carnes in from the off Them can be but une explanation. The break is produced by a modification of pure overspin, and not in the slightest degree by cross-pin, such as is used for leg or off break.

Suppose a person took a t`n plate with a rub

ber edge, and threw it down the pitch spinning away from him, and lying over at an angle of 45 degrees. That plate will strive all it can to stay in the place or line of fight in which it finds itself, especially as long as the spin lasto.

Let us imagine thit it pitches on the off slump, stili, mark you, spinuing forwardly, and lying over at an angle of, say, 45 degrees. Do you think that the moment that plate's rubber

edge grips the grass the plate will right itself to a vertical position ani bound forward sraight from wicket to wicket, or it would were it averspin?

pura

A QUESTION OF ANGLES. Certainly it will not ; as it pitches on the off- wicket at an angle of 45 degress, so it will re bound at the same, or approximately the same, angle, so that the effect in that the overspin carries it across from the off-wicket to the tex and thus is produced this valuable and puzzling break.

:

The plate here represents merely the plane of spin or that imaginary wall which theore tically bisects the spinning ball all the time it is progressing down it. It must, of course, be remembered that a cricket ball,being spherical and heavy, would neither swarve so much as a plate, nor probably rebounit so accurately in the angle of spin in which it was before it struck the ground, but the effect in just the same. The plate is there down the middle of the ball. The were fact that it has fat checks only affects the question af degree, and does not in any way alter the laws of break.

I want to make it very clear that this break cannot be obtained by the ordinary cross- spins. It must be a modification of overspin.

• Overspin is a spin which spins as though it were a hoop going through the air, jnstead of on the ground, from the bowler to the batsman Here the hoop is the plane of spin, but this is 'pure overspin. This will not give you the break, but make your konp lie over on its side as it goes through the air, and you will *have conquered the mysterious break.

THE BEAUTY OF DECEPTION. The beauty of this delivery is that for all that anyone but the keenest of batsmen cao, sez, it may be cross-spin, which, of course, would give you the leg-break. You may have bowled for an off-break with leg action, but your plane * of spin was too upright. It goes down, as an unexpected straight ball, and particularly if against the wind, on account of its overspins dives suddenly at the end of its fight, a deadly yorker, or it makes you hit it a foot further for ward than you reckoned in.

|

Peradventure you get the right angle of overspin, and it pitches on the offstump. The batsman knows it-a legbreak pitched narrow, and he proceeds to deal with it accordingly when it whips back and takes his le, stump.

|

The joubilitice of overspin for producing break and swerve are, I am convinced, not yet fully realised by English cricketers. So that there may be no doubt about the value of this delivery, i will here set down those balls which may apparently all come from it. Only the keepest of batsmen can possibly tell which is coming down, and, as a matter of fact, so near are the angles of the plane of spins which pro duce this break, in overspin, that frequently the bowler himself doesn't know which he has got on-pure overspin, which would be a straight bound, or overspin at an angle of, say, 50 de green, which would produce an off-break with Apparent leg-break delivery.

UNEXPECTEO POSS BILITIES.

the sun is in his strength Children are con

tapily told that it is dangerous to take cold water when they are hot, but I have not ver met any statistical proof of that assertion. This, however, may be noted, that it is not well to do anything which suddenly arrests the process of

repiring. Hence the short dip in cold water

legitimate and salutary when one is hot; but a longer stay is dangerous, obviously because of the extreme rapidity with which heat can be abstracted from n' flushed skin.

But if the reader prefers to carry away one

gent counsel from all these words let it be this in hot weather, if not always, treat the in-

cations of your appetite ar hunger sente de you do those of any other ; and if your appetite is smaller do not too hastily assume that your body is irrationally constructed, for neither the theory of Creation nor that of Evolution, will countenance you in such a' conclusion.- P.M. G.
