Text	In hitting at unfair balls–viz., wides and “called” balls–the batsman is now open to the same results as if he were to hit a fair ball. Thus, according to the new rule, if the batsman strike at and miss a ball on which a “wide” is called, the umpire must reverse his decision of “wide” and call “one strike;” and if the batsman hit a “called” ball, a similar reversal must be made, and the ball decided fair or foul, as the case may be. This is but just; for if the batsman thinks the ball is one he can hit, it of course ceases to be “wide” or one to be called.
