WHEN IS A TIE A DRAW?

Curious Catch At Wicket

(By A. W. T. Langford)

London. June 15.

On Saturday the Midland Bank declared at 105 for nine, and in reply Lensbury also scored 185 for nine. What was the result? A tle or a draw.

For years matches ending in this manner have given rise to considera- able controversy, to in 1027 the M.C.C. added the following to Law 2, under the heading "One Day

Matches"; "N.B.-A tie is included in the words 'played out."

It may venture to say so, even this note on

Obviously, then, the Midland Bank- Lensbury game was a tie, and not a draw.

CURIOUS COINCIDENCES Visitors to East Molesey on Sunday watched the home team and the Middlesex Nomads try the experi-} ment

of the 8-ball over.

Colonel V. I. Robins has kindly supplied me with some figures which bring to light some rather curious colncidences.

For example, it will be observed that both teams batted for exactly the same number of overs, and both took exactly the same time. Further, in each inninga a bowler bowled unchanged; each took seven wickets, with only one run separating the rung scored off them.

To allow for the falling of wickets, and the different types of batsmen, the innings are divided into periods of ten overs each, with the following fluctuations:

The two extra balls did not appear

to affect the bowlers in any way; indeed, W. O. Slott, who bowled unchanged for Molesey with seven- wickets for 44, is aged 32, L. May- new,

much faster than Stott, took seven for 43.

It was the unanimous opinion of the players concerned that there is nothing to object to in the longer over,
