Text | The season of 1867 will be the last by which our leading clubs will make up their averages from the scores of outs and runs. The new system of scoring, introduced by Mr. Chadwick, will give correct information for an estimate of averages on the number of times bases are made on clear hits, not by errors of fielding; and this, and the number of bases on hits, will be the basis of the averages for 1868. The close of the season of 1868 will therefore see, for the first time, the true estimate of a batsman’s skill shown in the figures of the seasons’ averages. |
