Four-day games approved
NZPA-Reuter London Four-day cricket matches will be played for the first time in the English County Championship, starting in 1988. The 17 first-class counties voted overwhelmingly in favour of the idea, at yesterday’s meeting of the Test and County Cricket Board (T.C.C.8.) at Lord’s. There will be six fourday and 16 three-day. matches, instead .of the
current 24 three-day games, and the new format designed to improve playing standards in England is likely to last for at least three years. The T.C.C.B. are to propose to the International Cricket Conference meeting next year a limit of one bouncer per over in tests, with only one warning to an offending bowler, and a 30-yard maximum run-up for bowlers.
