OK this is a thread to ask questions that are of no interest to anyone but me (and maybe someone else)
The first question
In 1893 the MCC sent a letter to the ACC (Aust. Cricket Council) telling them that they were considering changing the law so that a side that was 80 behind on first innings would not automatically follow-on but the opposition would have the option of enforcing it or not.
I think to change the laws att there had to be a two-thirds majority.
What happened? I assume they did not get the two-thirds majority, or did they change the law but only for a short time?
