are messages from famous old Australian players., What is the net result? Knowing that so- called authoritative opinions and |criticism are expected of them, the players writing in England proceed glibly to apportion praise and blame in an unstinted way on the evidence of cabled-and often garbled-reports while those who are actually in Australia watching the matches must needs search jout as many points as possible for criticism. The fact is that the amateur journalist of the modern kind is hardly ever an unbiased observer, however hard he may try to be; and in expressing his opinions hurriedly in print he fre- quently irritates and seldom en- lightens his readers. Among the famous old players, there have been very few indeed who have in any way enhanced their repu- tations by writing.
