Umpires. Nowadays long -stop is usually dispensed with , but he should not be removedunless bowling is very straight and wicket-keeping very sure . In this case it would be advisable to place mid-off (No. 8) further back, and place No. 9 at long-stop. Witha good on-hitter , however, like Mr. W. G. Grace, the on-side must be strengthened by the removal of No. 12 to a position on the on-side between 10 and 11. Peate and Barratt are the best specimens of the slow -left , and James Lillywhite , jun ., of the medium-pace leftr o u n d-a r mb o w l e r.
