Very

watching
that

a
bit

Wasted
Hours
This
veteran
cricketer
tells
the
London
Times
he
has
seen
"batsmen
literally
waste
hours
in
a
season
of
soft
wickets
by
stepping
out
and
'gardening'
on
the
pitch
After
nearly
every
ball
delivered."
'
If
we
admit
we
have
seen
something
of
the
kind,
we
must
admit
also
that
we
imagined
It
was
part
of
the
rites
of
the
game.
But
the
-veteran

tells
us
that
t

that

that

so,
