Following the big opening score of the Australian cricketers in the Brisbane Test the Herald was asked the margin in runs required to enforce flic follow-on. Law of Cricket No. 53 in the Marylebonc code supplied the answer. Here is Law 53 as it appears in the sixteenth M.C.C. edition, the latest available, published in 1939: — “The side which bats first and leads by 150 runs (in Australia 2AO runs) in a match of three days or more, or by 100 runs in a two days’ match, shall have the option of requiring the other side (o follow their innings.”
The addition, “in Australia 200 runs.” was was uassod in 1022.
