Here I recall scenes of the
** noble game ** played out for
the sake of victory only. Here
I see some of the best players
in the Schools and University
matches, and whose fame went
far beyond them in after life.
Ryle of Eton, now Bishop of
Liverpool ; Wilde of Winches-
ter, now Lord Penzance Lee of
Winchester and Warden of Win-
chester College, famous in Hamp-
shire matches, with R. Payne, Chlorpromazine Hydrochloride a
noted longstop in the county,
also a Wykehamist. Here, too,
I see Harenc and Chlorpromazine 25 Mg Anson, and
Pickering and Taylor, with the
Hon. R. Grimston and Hon. F.
Ponsonby, and many more, if
time and space allowed.
Here, too, as in 1836, I gaze
on a scene of deeper interest, the
grand match of Gentlemen v.
Players of England, when the
Gentlemen, I believe, won their
first victory. And what an array
of fighting men ! Verily " there
were giants in those days." Alfred
Mynn, a mighty man of valour
and a tower of strength, a mar-
vellous bowler and batsman, with
Walter Mynn, his brother, the
only Chlorpromazine Brand Name man who could act as long-
stop to his terrific bowling ; Lord
Grimston and the Hon. E. H.
Grimston, the Hon. F. Ponsonby
and the present Sir H. Jenner
Fust, captain, with Taylor and
Pickering on one side, opposed by
Pilch and the two Wenmans,
Cobbett, Bailey, Redgate and
Beasley on the other. Here I
would copy from an old extract
of the match that ** Lilly white
was unable to appear for the
Players, which certainly Chlorpromazine Injection Chlorpromazine Mg720 made a
difference, but the Gentlemen had
not their best eighteen, neither
Felix, Kynaston, Knatchbull,
Harenc, &c., playing."
Again, I say, what a list of
warriors, including Buy Chlorpromazine the above,
with Sir F. Bathurst also, a
grand figure of a man and power-
ful bowler, whom I picture before
me on several occasions, in Hants
and Wilts, as engaged in the
noble strife, and who in 1853,
after twenty years of bowling,
took the greater part of the bowl-
ing at Lord's in Gentlemen v.
Players and Chlorpromazine Equivalents was never changed,
and helped to win it by four
wickets.
But I must descend from my
imaginary perch and contrast the
present with the past in several
most important particulars.
First, as to ** throwing and
jerking," which have excited a
great deal of criticism and Purchase Chlorpromazine Online con-
demnation ; and justly so, as they
are absolutely illegal and unjusti-
fiable, and altogether opposed to
the true spirit and interest of
cricket. How such practices
have been allowed to continue so
long undetected and unchecked,
I cannot imagine, but I rejoice
to see that steps are being taken
for their abandonment.
As an old bowler, I never heard
in my time Order Chlorpromazine that ** throwing " was
ever attempted or even thought
of, and the only instance of sus-
picious "jerking" was that of a
bowler in an Eton school match,
who objected to his arm being
chalked for the purpose of de-
ciding the question. Jerking, of
course, can only apply to under-
hand bowling, and such delivery
now is seldom seen, but it should
be stopped by all means.
Throwing, however, is quite
distinct ; and if the bowler's hand
and wrist were carefully observed
by the umpire, the twist of both
and the whole movement of the
arm in throwing would at once be
detected, as the delivery in throw-
ing would be— in fact, must be —
totally distinct from the even
movement of delivery in bowling
where there is no ** catchy Chlorpromazine Tablets " kind
that appears in the swing of the .

arm. It seems, however, a good
plan to have the umpire at each
end to watch the *' throw " and be
responsible for the result.
Then, as to l.b.w., which
naturally follows the subject of
bowling, it seems to be most un-
fair that a batsman should be
allowed to defend his wicket with
anytking but his bat.
Why should the benefit of a
bowler's dexterity in giving his
ball Chlorpromazine Trade Name a twist or a break be denied
him ? His object is to overcome
the batsman's defence, and if by
accuracy of aim or judgment of
attack he can do this, like turning
the enemy *s flank, why should any
part of his person stop the ball,
which, whether straight or crooked,
would have hit the wicket ?
Batsmen now rely so much on
their gloves and pads to defend
their wicket and get runs ; but
such things were unheard of in
early times. Mark the stride of
the batsman now to the wicket
like the giant of Gath, clad in
armour, proudly defiant of his
enemy, Novo Chlorpromazine the bowler, who, unlike
the stripling of old, has no sling
and stone, but the swing of his
arm and ball to use against him.
Though tall hats and a Chlorpromazine Thorazine Purchase Chlorpromazine mixed
uniform of flannels and other
materials were still in fashion, yet
gloves and pads had not then been
invented, and the batsmen faced
the bowling of Chlorpromazine 10 Mg every kind with the
care and skill that it demanded
~I have seen Pilch at Lord's
with sixty runs Chlorpromazine 100 Mg to his score, still
fearlessly using his forward play
against Mynn's bowling, and Thorazine Chlorpromazine
shaking the blood from his fingers
before he lost his Chlorpromazine 25mg wicket.* Such
artificial protection as is now in
use would have been scouted and
ridiculed in those days.
