IS IT CRICKET?
WARWICK MAN’S VIEW.
A TILT AT SLOW SCORING. (Per Press Association, Copyright.) (Received This Day, 10.10 a.m.) LONDON, March 21. The president of the Warwickshire County Cricket Club, speaking at the annual meeting, said he was of opinion that matches ought to begin earlier and conclude later, and that the tea adjournment should be abolished. He deprecated defensive cricket waged without an attempt to secure runs. It was painful last season .to watch the best cricketers carefully playing halfvolleys gently hack when they ought to be driving to boundary. The display was pitiable and inexcusable. Speaking of the bowlers, he said they lacked the old-fashioned goodlength bowling.
