Time-limit Cricket.
“Will time-limit, knock-out competition cricket sweep South Wales?” asks an English paper. “Time-limit cricket has long been successful in various parts of England—a final at Leicester recently attracted over 5000 spectators—and although it has only recently been introduced in South Wales, it promises to transform lukewarm followers of cricket into red-hot enthusiasts. In Swansea time-limit cricket has become so popular that games between local
clubs are attracting larger crowds than county matches do, and some remarkable batting and bowling performances are being achieved. Some batsmen have been scoring at an average rate of 90 runs an hour, while bowlers have been knocking wickets down so easily that their averages show more wickets than runs. Shrewd judges believe that timelimit competition games will he played in every big town in South Wales next season.”
