TEST CRICKET.
AUSTRALIA'S WILL TO WIN
The action of the Australian Board of Control in making such drastic regulations in connection with the position of the players during their forthcoming, tour, points to a very definite moral. The Australian cricketers ara coming here with the fixed doter- mination to win the series of Test Matches, and all other considera-, tions are deemed of secondary im- portance. Who shall gay that they are wrong in their desire to make this objective the one great aim of the tour, or qucation their judgment in their clear determina- tion to triumph at all costs.
By the controversy, which has "occurred concerning the different aspects of the tour, it is clear that next cricket season will be one of the greatest the game in this country has ever known. While we at home are sonietimus left wondering whether rather too much is not being made of the question of success or failure, it becomes obvious' that the Aus- tralian view is a deadly serious one. No stone is to be left un- turned. The desires of the in dividual are not allowed to inter- fere with the object of the visit, which, first and last, is to win the Test matches and to make the tour a complete sucess,
While there has been, and still remains, an impression among many of the game's supporters in England that these things can be taken too seriously, there can be no questioning the intense de- sire to once again secure the rub-, ber" from Australia, a solatium which" English cricketers have not had for a considerable time.. To accomplish this it becomes very evident that the serious side of the situation will have to be pon- dered and tackled in determined fashion. The question of whe- ther a player's wife should or. should not be allowed to accom- pany him on tour need not be regarded as anything more than another phase of Australia's no- tion of how to clear the decks for action,
The Australian view is that if these tours are worth undertak- ing, no endeavour should be spar-
