London, Dec. 23.
Cricket, surely, has never before been so close to English minds in December as it is at the present time. In South Africa, in New Zealand, and in India players with names which recall our summers are busily fashioning runs and taking wickets in a man- ner that we know so well. A team of men who were beating England four months ago themselves were beaten last week by Australia; our own side have started an adventure in New Zea land; and much splendour in batsmanship of other times is brought back to us by the tour of another Australian combination whose ranks include players once worthy of the biggest hend lines-little, daring, quick-footed C.
