London, Oct. 31. Replying to speeches of wel- come to the Australian Test team at Adelaide, Mr. W. H. Jeanes, who managed the team while in England, said that drawn Test matches would be almost unknown in the future. An extension in the duration of Test matches was certain. Australia must build for the future. England's strength in- dicated that there would be a hard tussle in the next series.
Bradman said that English

Perhaps as much in the last. Test at Durban as at the Oval in August. It is a play-to-a-finish match and South African bowling looks a hundred runs worse than Bradman's 1938 attack. Another Hutton holiday?

Apparently there is a world slump In bowling just as in heavy-weight boxers. My Information is that Langton and Balaskas, of the last team here, could find no form last scason, which seems to leave the cupboard very bare.
We are not so hot in the depari- ment, but good enough, with the stack of runs we ought to have to play with.
Speedsters Farnes and Perks may have a thin time in South Africa's thin air, with Perks not finding the ball so movable as it is in our "pen soup.'
Hammond will probably do best with his spinners, notably Wright, Goddard, Wilkinson. And here's wishing Wright a good health trip. This means a lot to English cricket.
CRITICAL FOR EDRICH Edrich will be well advised to realise he is starting all over again on this tour, and not bank too much on having got into the fifth Test last summer on a unanimous vote of the selectors.
TEST TEAM FORECAST Unless the cariy games throw up unexpected form horses, the best batting order may be: Hution, Gibb, Paynter, Hammond, Ames, Valentine (or Bartlett), Yardley, Verity, Wright, Wilkinson, Farnes (or Perks).
Bartlett may hit his way into the Test side by some fireworks in tho lesser garaes, but always operating against bin inclusion will be his lack of suap in the field, and the attrac- live alternative proposition of the brilliant Valentine.
Expect P. A. Gibb to make further advance as a batsman, and it is surely time Yardley gave up stopping short in the forties and pulled out a few of those hundreds we feel he has been hiding in his bag.
M.C.C. WERE RIGHT
There has been some trouble over M.C.C.'s firm refusal to allow end-to- end wicket covering at the close of play, but this will not be permitted to affect the harmony of the tour.
Although some of ine new turf wickets may be susceptible to heavy rain, I suggest that a "Manchester be just as damaging. but I can't re- shower" could get under matting and call any serious complaints on past tours. Perhaps a Test costs a bit Official faith In this undeniably more these days. .
