BY LONDON CRITIC

Just at the moment, when there are murmurs in the air of cricket no longer being what it had been in the grand old days when spectators fried eggs in their top hats; when it is said that batsmen are allowed by obsolete laws to score far too many runs; and when tears for the bowler are dropped by soms who, perhaps, never reacted to the joy of striving, over after over, to beat a batsman on a pitch of the striker's choice, there has been played a cricket match-and a county match-which cheered the soul of all those who were privileged to see it, writes a special correspondent of the London Observer.

THE L. B. W. LAW.

The law of cricket as it affects the matter of lag-before-wicket | crops up perpetually. Those who are in favour of an alteration to the law are almost invariably to be found among cricketers who | have-now-censed-to-be-active, |Quite properly, they believe that in their day batsmen, and it is to be noticed that they are generally batsmen who fling a challenge down, commanded more strokes than we see in these days. In a 11/7spirit of disgust and contempt for

the modern player, and in a charit able frame of mind to the bowler whom in their own day they would have depressed to zero point, they suggest that the ball pitching out- side the off-stump, which would have hit the wicket but for the interplacement of the batsman's pads, should be deemed to have taken a wicket.
