Excerpt from The Cricket of Abel, Hirst, and ShrewsburyThe suggestions are one and all based upon the practice or the teaching of successful players. Of the three special models here, not one has the advantage of superior height, and at least one had not the advantage of athletic physique. The instructions point out the apparent foundations of batting, bowl ing, and fielding, and, by contrast, the apparent faults to which the natural duffer like myself is liable. It is hoped that critics and other readers will kindly offer every possible hint and correction.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
