LEG-BEFORE-WICKET LAW
INCREASE IN DISMISSALS It is unfortunate that it is impossible to state with mathematical accuracy exactly what effect the experimental log-before-wicket law is having on play this season, says an English cricket writer. All that can be said, Without fear of contradiction, is that in many. matches there has been an unusual number of sucli dismissals. Thus, as many as 11 of 40 wickets were so accounted for in. the Glamorgan v. Hampshire game, at Swansea, 10 of 40 in Essex v. Worcestershire, at Leyton, and -eight of 32 in Middlesex v. Sussex, at Lord’s, while five of Lancashire so fell during their innings of 305 v. Yorkshire. Possibly a less melancholy state of things will- occur when players have become more accustomed to the innovation.
