Cricket 1882

172 CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. JULY 20, 1882. A N SW E R S TO CO RRE SPO N D EN T S . I. C ollard , —Is a rim counted to the score if a man is caught whilst attempting to run, and the batsmen have crossed each other ? (No run is counted when a batsman is caught.) j\ C r an h e r (Rose Cottage, St. Mark-street, Birmingham).—In reply to a correspondent, “ S. Hudson, ” you say that a batsman may be out 1 b w to a man who bowls round the wicket. Rule 24 says, “ If with any part of his (the bats­ man’s) person he stop the ball, which in the opinion of the umpire at the bowler’s wicket shall have been pitched in a straight line from it to the striker’s wicket, and would have hit it.” Has this rule been modified, or how can a man who bowls round the wicket be said to deliver the ball in a straight line from his to the batsman’s wicket when perhaps his hand, at the time he delivers the ball, is three feet wide of the wicket ? This is a matter often disputed in this district, and it is seldom both umpires agree.— (The rule has not been altered in any way. A bowler who bowls round the wicket can pitch the ball in a straight line from his wicket to the batsman’s wicket and hit the latter. A twist of eight inches, between the pitch of a good length ball and the wicket, would be something quite out of the common way.) F ijld .—In a match last Saturday, in the middle of an over a substitute who was fielding was replaced by the proper player. Before the two fieldsmen had separated a catch was given to the new arrival and caught by him, and the batsman given out. Is there a rule on this question as to whether a man can be changed during an over, and if so, whether the batsman was properly out, seeing both players remained on the field ?—(1. There is no rule, but the whole question of substitutes is subject to the co isent of the other party being obtained.) (2. The batsman was properly ou t) E lvington C.C.— O n S atu rday last we went into the field with nine men, deputing also one man to score for us. On our going to bat, our oppo­ nents assumed that our tenth man would not bat, and when he was going in last with but few runs wanted, their captain objected to his bat­ ting on the broad ground that a man who had not fielded could not be allowed to bat. The game ended abruptly. Who were in the right ? Whose match was it? (1. No one can object to the other party putting in eleven men, whatever number they may nave had in the field.) (2. . The party refuting to play loses the match.) A. J. S anders (Clapton). — 1. If a wide or no ball is bowled, and the batsman shall hit the said ball for six runs, is the wide or no ball counted, aud if it is, does it count as wide or no ball and six runs to the batsman ? 2. Can a bowler bowl any distance this side (that is before he gets to the wicket) of the crease. (1. A wide ball is one not within the reach of the batsman, and therefore cannot be hit. A no ball hit away for six runs counts six runs to the batsman, but no run is to be added to the score for the no ball.) (2. A bowler may deliver the ball any distance he pleases behind the bowling crease.) Foreigner—Where can I get “ Lillywhite’s Annual Cricket Register,” or who are the publishers? 2. Would you tell me of some good book on cricket, that would give hints about “ call­ ing ” to batsmen, &o., or any work you think useful to one who wants a thorough knowledge of tht game ? (1. It is published uy “ Cricket Press,’ 1 7 , Paternoster Square.) (2, The “ Cricket Field,” t j be had at this office.)
