Cricketer writes—How nifcmy matches must be won to retain or obtain the Ashes? At present three matches iiave been drawn. Presuming that four are drawn, would England, by winning the fifth, regain the Ashes? Also, in the event that either side had won. say. three or four Tests, would the fifth still have to be played right out? Tn reply it may be stated that “The Ashes” i.s a term only, 'and obviously there cannot be a “rubber” decision in the ordinary sense where any or every game in a limited series may be drawn. The “advantage” is the deciding factor—it may be only one win and four drawn games. As to tbe second point “AYisden” (1926, page 47) gives as follows rule 18 of tbe set. of rnles rfijiwn up by the Board of Control: “The matches shall he of three days’ duration, but if after the fouith match neither side has secured an advantage, the fifth match shall.be played to a finish.”
