Australians Dismiss Leicestershire Twice In A Day
Leicester, May 4.
Australia's cricketers, dismissing Leicestershire twice in a day, for 109 and 180, won by an innings and 154 runs with a day to spare. They had declared at their overnight score of 443 for eight.
Leicestershire's batting failed miserably against an attack no better than that of most county sides. Only Charks Palmer, 26 run out and 62 not out, was at all, comfortable. By sound methodical stroke play he showed there was no real tear gas in the bowling.

AUSTRALIA WILL WIN THE TESTS-AND CONFOUND
ALL
THE CRITICS
Says STAN MCCABE
(Best remembered as the Australian batsman whose exploits against the shock attack of Larwood won for him a place in the cricket annals of both England and Australia).
What are Australia's prospects in the Test Matches against Eng- land?
British opinion favours England's chances during the current series -and not a few Australians are of the same opinion. Betting men, in fact, are willing to lay a shade of odds that Australia, at best, will not win more. than one Test this season.
Judged in the balance of popular opinion, therefore, it seems that cricket fans take a dim view of Australia's ability to take the “Ashes" buck with them when they return home at the end of the season.
