CRICKET RULES ACCEPTED
DOMINION TEAM’S BRITISH TOUR
NEW L.B.W. LAW AND BIG WICKETS By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. The New Zealand Cricket Council has agreed to the new cricket rules being applied in matches played by the New Zealand team in England this year. This means that in the event of a .batsman snickino- a ball on to his paths an appeal for f.b.w. is just as likely to succeed as in the ca.se of a ball which ha<s not been touched by the bat.
Larger are also to be used and the council has given consent to the pitch being rolled for seven minutes instead of ten, as has been the case previously. With regard to the financial side of the tour, it is reported the M.C.C. has made a donation of £l5O towards the cast of sending the team to England.
