Reviewing the county cricket sea* sin, Syd. Southerton considers the large wiokets responsible for the larger proportion or definite results, Bowlers on the whole bowled more regularly, and the stumps’ increaeed e did not affect really first-class batsmen, but lesser lights found their abilities somewhat curtailed. Many prominent cricketers desired that the larger wickets should remain.
