WICKETS AND LIGHT

(Received 3rd December, 1 p.m.) LONDON, 2nd December. The Marylebone Cricket Club has accepted the recommendations of the Advisory County Cricket Committee with regard to the larger wicket anilno appeal against light. Tho Advisory County Cricket Committee recently asked tho Marylcbone Club to endeavour to obtain the opinion of the Australian Board of Control regarding the iarger wicket and the duration of rolling in time to enable the laws to be altered in May, 1931, and failing a decision," in readiness for next season. It was recommended that experiments should bo continued in first and second class counties, also at the universities and in clubs and schools as far as possible. The committee.recommended the new method of scoring in county championship matches including the provision that outright winners score 15; if unfinished, leaders on the first innings scoto five, and their opponents three. If there is no result on'the first innings or no play, each side will score four. Presumably as the outcome of incidents at tho Leods Teat, the committee recommended, as an experiment, that in 1931 there should be no appeal against the light in first-class matches.
