NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENT
Country Cricketer.—The l.b.w. rule provides that the ball must pitch in a line between wicket and wicket (that is to say the delivery must land within an eight-inch strip, the length of the wicket), and after landing the ball must continue its flight so that, in the opinion of the umpire, it would hit the wicket if not obstructed by some part of the batsman’s body. A bowler delivering round the wicket and pitching a good-length ball in the eightinch strip would miss the wicket by from 18 to 24in if the ball does not break back. A competent umpire would rarely give a batsman out l.b.w. to a bowler bowling round the wicket unless the ball was wellpitched up, and broke back very considerably.—Ed. The Sun.
