Fallacy Is Disproved

INTERESTING STUDY

Certain men of a certain nge, whom one meets at almost every good cricket match, are fond of telling you that modern cricket is a dull game to watch. If you were to ask them why, if they find it so dull, they continue to come and look on at it. | instead of amusing themselves in some other way, they would not regard this as a satisfactory reply, so perhaps it is better not to raise that question. They would explain that what they mean is that cricket, even modern cricket, can be interesting and ex- citing enough when batsmen are hitting about vigorously, but that these spectacular interludes come far too seldom in our degenerate days. There is too much poking and blocking, too much cautious play. The policy of safety first is carried to excess; hence their complaint.
