LEG-BYE OPPOSED
Rule Change Proposed (N.Z.P.A.-Reuter— Copyrioht) LONDON. : The leg-bye may vanish from cricket if a proposal is adopted by the International Cricket Conference, which will meet at Lord’s today and tomorrow. There is a feeling that if a bowler beats a batsman’s attempted strokes, his side should not concede a possible boundary when the ball strikes a pad. The most famous leg-bye tn cricket history won a test match for England against South Africa 22 years ago. when the ball glanced off C. Gladwin’s thigh for the winning score. If the conference adopts the proposal, it may take up to two years to become law. The delegates have to report back to their various boards of control, and then return to the conference with their decisions.
