"Patsy" Hendren Is

Not Optimistic

By ARCHIE QUICK

"Patay" Hendren is one of cricket's leading optimists and best-known humorists, but he is still not satisfied to clinch the that England has the men in Australia "Ashes".

Hendren thinks that the Adelaide Test will be drawn as it is such a "featherbed" wicket all in favour of the batsmen, but he feels that Australia may well snatch the last match at Sydney. That would leave the series drawn at two-all and would, of course, mean that England would retain the mythical "Ashes".

The danger in Hemdren's view is that there mybe another unaccountable brating collapse on our part at Adelaide that would give Australia the

edge. He would take the drastic action of recalling two
