Dragging over the line in delivering the ball appears to he a weakness with both Allen and Voce, of tho English team. In the first Innings of Victoria, Allen was “called” no fewer Ilian 12 times and Voce eight times. Three of Allen’s no -to alls were hit for eight runs, while 14 were scored off four of Voce’s. Allen’s 12 no-toalls therefore cost his side 11 runs, and Voce’s eight cost 18 runs. Oakley showod remarkable quickness in taking advantage of the umpire's call, and hit three of Voce’s no-toalls to the boundary.
