AGAINST HIGH SCORING
AIDING THE BOWLER HIGHER. THICKER STUMPS (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 9.22 a.m. LONDON, Tuesday. The Club Cricket Conference, at its annual meeting on Friday, with a view to assisting bowlers, will discuss proposals for the Marylebone team’s guidance. Firstly, whether a batsman is out leg-before if the ball is pitched in a straight line, so that it would hit the wicket but for a snick on to the batsman’s pads. Secondly, an increase in the height of stumps for one season to 29 inches. Thirdly, thicker stumps of a total width of inches. Fourthly, any other suggestions likely to reduce the present high individual scoring.
