Text | [discussing the new playing rules] The next rule is that touching the batsman’s position and striking. The former has been more closely defended, and any departure from it renders him to be put out on appeal to the umpire. But as a compensation, and to check the eccentricities of the pitcher, the striker is given an extra strike; on the third good ball not hit the umpire will caution the batsman that he has but one more chance, and on the fourth, he must do or die. |
