CRICKET.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. ' (By "Cover-Point.") Inquirer.—Eighteen of Taranaki at Hawcra scored 141 and 38 ; Warner's team 157 and 88 per one wicket. Hargrcavc in the first innings took seven wickets for 70 ; in the second innings nine wickets for 10. Thompson's analysis reads six for 31 and eight for 19. Against eighteen of Taranaki at New Plymouth, Warner's team scored 320, Taranaki 8« and 131. J.W.—The umpire was wrong. If a no ball travelled to the boundary four no balls should be scored, not byes. The same with a wide. Four widvs should be scored, not byes. X.—See answer to inquirer. Hat.—ln the match New Zealand v. Lord Hnwkc's team, ; seven men were out 1.b.w., four of which were on A.'s decision and three on that Of Mr Stevenis. Wellington. Tnglowood—To a bowler bowling round the wicket n bulsman can he out leg before wicket to a full toss, or to a bail that pitches in a line with the wicket, breaks, and would have hit the wicket but for the obstruction. Mimi.—ltulo 48 says :—lf either umpire be not satisfied of the absolute fuirness of the delivery of any ball, he shall call ;'No bull." W.H.—The ball becomes "dead" if it lodges in a batsman's clothing, whether struck with the but or not. M.—ln my opinion an I'mpires-' Association should Ijc formed. The ' difficulty is where to find local men competent lor examiners. C—George- Hirst 'is unquestionably i the best all-round' cricketer now , playing. He was born in 1871. Ignoramus.—You had better ask ( the individual. , J.A.H.—llosankjuet is 27 years of , age, being born in 1877. Hargreave j is a year older. S.ll.—The rule is very vague. 5 will answer next week.
