FOOTNOTE In comparing batting and bowling performances over the years it is interesting to note the following:- Prior to 1930 all boundaries were registered as Fours. In 1930 it was agreed that Sixes could be scored on all sides of the Burnley, Church and Nelson grounds. At the East Lancs. ground only Four would be registered for hits towards the bowling greens but Sixes could be scored on the other three sides of the ground. In 1935 at the Colne ground Sixes could be scored on the East and Western sides but the Bowling Green must be completely cleared for a Six to be awarded. In 1959 the Ramsbottom ground was added to the list with Sixes being awarded for hits to the North and South sides but the East andWest sides would continue to be counted as Fours.
