It was claimed that.Glamorganshire’s declaration, was illegal because it did not allow Northamptonshire 100 minutes batting. Turnbull’s declaration raised a problem. He and Jupp, also the umpires, held that the rule regarding 100 minutes’ batting did not apply as Northamptonshire had already declared. . Rule 5-1 says: “The in-side may declare their innings at end in a three days match at any time on the second day; .in a two days’ match the captain' of the batting side - has power* to declare his innings at a close at any time, but such declaration may . not’ be made on the first day later than one hour and forty minutes before the tifne agreed upon for drawing stumps; in a one-day match at any time.”
