Australians' Praise For Verity

The Test match of the seven centar- ies (First Test) ended on June 15 in a draw, and hostilities are suspended. until Friday, week at Lord's, when the second encounter is due to begin.

If the England team is changed for that game, it is likely to be in the Unfortunately, bowling department.

J. C. Clay and Goddard are still unfit, and a player to take the place of Sinfield may not be easily found. It is suggested that another fast man may be brought in to support K for Farnes-J. W. A. Stephenson, example.

Unless A. G. Chipperfield is Intro duced, Australian changes are unlike- ly. D. G. Bradman-who by the way, was barracked yesterday for not speeding up near the end-is bound to reflect, however, that A. L. Hassett and C. L. Badcock between them made but 17 runs in four innings.

So completely did the bat master the ball that, the match yielded an aggregate of $1496 runs, while only. 24. wickets fell—-an average per wicket.

Bradman batted for 6 hours for his 144 and hit only four boundaries..

*Neither Hammond nor Bradman would comment on the match. WH Jeanes, the Australian team manager, made the following statement: "The first Test match of the 1988 series has been a particularly strenuously, fought game, and augurs well for very keen competition in the remainder of the series.

"The Australian' side had a very stiff battle-to-bring-about-a-drawn game, and to do so had to resort to purely defensive tactics which, intelli- gent students of the game will appre ciate, were the only tactics possible in the circumstances.

"The game, as between the players - of our respective countries, has been fought in a keen and particularly hap py mood which we are sure will char- acterise all of the Tests."
