OFFER TO BE AN UMPIRE
“I have written the N.S.W.C.A. secretary, Mr. H. Heydon, offering my services as an umpire under certain conditions, writes Arthur Mailey: (1) That I am not compelled to wear a white coat; (2) that I may be able to use my own discretion about the type of batsmen I give out lbw; (3) that I wear a busby and spurs. And, above all, that I am not compelled to wear a black moustache and squeaky boots.’’ In yet another article, Mailey states that he is convinced that cricketers of all eras have taken . the game, and sometimes themselves, too seriously.
