CRICKET RULING.
LARWOOD’S OPINION. PROBLEMS RAISED. LONDON, Nov. 22. Larwood, in an interview given to the Daily Express on the body-line ruling of the M.C.C., said: “Short length bowling cannot be defined. It depends on the height of the bowler, the reach of the batsman, and the pace of the wicket. You cannot rule out the natural high-riser, which is part of the armoury of every fast bowler. Then, where does fast medium-paced bowling end, and fast bowling begin? The umpire will have a horrible time next season. What will happen if the umpire thinks , a bowler is bowling unfairly ? Does he ask the captain to take him off, does he no-ball him, or does he say over? It beats me.” CRICKET IN SYDNEY. . - SHEFFIELD SHIELD SERIES. • ' SYDNEY, Nov. 23.
