He did not mention if the same was true of the lonely gentleman when 'in' for the 'other side'. Perhaps in those days everyone batted for the right side.
It all depends on whether or not they were on sticky wicket, or perhaps a proper turner. Nothing worse than a wrong'un coming at you sharply out of the rough, bouncing off a short leg and getting caught in the slips.
