The brilliant success of the M.C.C. cricket team in Australia has directed attention to the way in which England is bringing on its young players by intensive coaching. The following picture, taken at Lord’s, gives an indication of the work that is being done under the big coaching scheme formulated by the authorities. The scene here is a familiar one to all old cricketers. It shows the technique of the off drive, and it is a guinea to a gooseberry that the coach is saying something about “keeping that left leg and left elbow well forward.”
