[from answers to correspondents] If the batsman has struck at two balls and missed them, can the umpire call a strike on next ball pitched, if a fair ball, or has the umpire got to warn batsman on third strike? … If the batsman strikes at and fails to hit the third ball, he is out. If it be a fair ball and he does not strike at it, the umpire then warns him by calling “Good ball,” and on the next fair ball not struck at he is out.
