Forms of cricket range from Twenty20 (also known as T20), with each team batting for a single innings of 20 overs (each "over" being a set of 6 fair opportunities for the batting team to score) and the game generally lasting three to four hours, to Test matches played over five days. Traditionally cricketers play in all-white kit, but in limited overs cricket they wear club or team colours. In addition to the basic kit, some players wear protective gear to prevent injury caused by the ball, which is a hard, solid spheroid made of compressed leather with a slightly raised sewn seam enclosing a cork core layered with tightly wound string.

These figures show how the mighty do sometimes fall, andthis certainly ought to console those in the humbler walks ofthe cricket world. Some players have shot up like rockets,played for a season or so, and then have been heard of no more;but the county that plays a series of county matches will actunwisely if it shunts a player who has shown that he possessesreal batting ability. Of course there are limits to the patienceof every club committee, but all committees would be wise ifthey were to err on the side of leniency in this matter.

Batting may be called the most enjoyable feature of thegreat and glorious game of cricket. A man even in fulltraining invariably feels the effect of fatigue after bowling sixtyor seventy overs, and fieldsmen go through the same experienceduring a long outing. But it may with truth be said that the keenpleasure which is realised by every cricketer worthy of the name,while he is actually at the wickets, prevents him from feelingfatigue as an inconvenience until the innings is over. We donot believe, though with bated breath let it be said, that thefine rider on a fine horse in a good position and over a grasscountry with a burning scent can feel so supremely contentwith the world and its glorious surroundings while gallopingand jumping close to hounds, as does a batsman who feels[93]himself master of the bowling on a good wicket in a first-classmatch, with a fine day and a large crowd keenly anxious for hiswell-doing. He is conscious that his side is gaining a gloriousvictory by his efforts, and life can give him no prouder moments.To the young cricketer let us therefore say, in conclusion, that,as the pleasure is so intense and the excitement so keen, heshould strive to attain proficiency by care, practice, and theadvice of great masters. Above all, he must cultivate themoral qualities that of necessity must have a place in such agreat, glorious, and unsurpassable game as cricket.

Perhaps a word would not be out of place here respectingMr. Blackham, the celebrated Australian wicket-keeper.When the Colonial Eleven came over in 1878, 1880, 1882, and[277]1884, practically the whole of the wicket-keeping had to be doneby Mr. Blackham. In 1880 and 1886 Mr. Jarvis assisted him.Now wicket-keeping is essentially an amusement you can havetoo much of. In old days, when there was a lot of fast bowling,the cream of the wicket-keeping used to be seen duringthe first six weeks of the season, because during that timethe hands of the wicket-keeper were more or less sound. Thefamous George Pinder, at the beginning of his career, hadfaster bowling to keep to consistently than any other cricketerbefore or since. Freeman, Emmett, and Atkinson were threevery fast bowlers, and they all three played for Yorkshire, andafter them came Hill and Ulyett. Pinder in consequencevery frequently damaged his hands, and no wonder. Blackham,however, during all the four years we have mentioned,had Spofforth and either Garratt or Palmer to stop. Nowalthough these were not so fast as the Yorkshire lot, theybowled a goodish pace; the Australian season consisted of twomatches a week from the beginning to the end of the cricketyear, and Blackham did not get very many days off. When hisrecord is examined, therefore, we think that his performancesduring these four years constitute the greatest wicket-keepingfeats on record. Not unless Spofforth bowled his fastest didhe ever have a long-stop, and he held his hands closer to thewicket than any other wicket-keeper we ever saw. If the batsmanwas an inch out of his ground for a second or so, the ballwould be put down, and a stump-out resulted, for the handshad no distance to travel, and no time was lost. Of coursethe bowling he had to stop was very accurate, but when theamount of wicket-keeping that he had to go through and thenumber of wickets he got are considered, our opinion is thatMr. Blackham was the finest wicket-keeper to bowling of allpaces that the world has ever seen.

So began a natural calamity of almost unimaginable dimensions. All around the periphery of the Indian Ocean last Sunday morning, on the heavily populated border between land and sea, people were going about their lives in the most prosaic and familiar of ways: shopping for vegetables, watching cricket on television, hauling in fishing nets, lounging at poolside. Then that border shifted, the land merged with the sea -- and the world would never seem quite the same.

There is, however, no such thing as a weak Australian side. The Aussies see the India series as a great opportunity to win back the trust, confidence and support of their disillusioned and disgruntled fans, and while they might not have the batting riches they once commanded, their bowling stock is still in formidable hands. When all of them are fit, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Pat Cummins form easily the most exciting and potent pace trio in world cricket. Nathan Lyon is a crafty off-spinner with an excellent track record against the Indians. Like in South Africa and England, the onus will be on the batsmen to complement the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Ishant Sharma, all of whom are more than comfortable with the red Kookaburra. e24fc04721
