[discussing the new playing rules] “Strikes” one and two are called the same as previously. When two strikes have been called, should the batsman fail to strike at the next good ball, the umpire does not call “three strikes,” as before, but warns the batsman by saying “good ball.” If the next good ball which goes by is not struck at he calls “three strikes.” This rule only gives the batsman an additional chance.
