61 CRICKET.
ADVICE TO YOUNG BOWLERS.
Having adopted your style—form it, if possible, upon the
model of one of the leading bowlers of the day, fast, medium,
or slow, as the case may be—be careful to bowl in as plain a
planner as possible.
All mannerisms are either the result of affectation, and consequently simply detestable, or of mere unmeaning habit, and
therefore unnecessary—away with them.
Bowl as upright as possible; every inch of height is an advantage, and, moreover, the more upright you stand the better
your command over your muscles.
Finally, keep the body as steady as you can, compatibly with
free and easy movement of the muscles.
Remember, that in underhand bowling, especially, the
shoulder is the fulcrum from which the power is obtained, and
if that be unsteady, how can the arm depending therefrom
work truly?
A steady arm and hand, a ready wit, and a good eye, not to
forget an even temper, with attention and practice are the
making of a good bowler.
BATTING.
We now come tp that part of cricket which is by many esteemed as the very first and the last
However much opinions may differ upon this subject, and I
have already put in a special demurrer against its claim to the
first place in the game, sure it is that without batting, the game
WTould be simply non est
And without scientific batting too tame to be worth playing.
Let us, therefore, consider, in as extended detail as space
will admit, the science of batting.
