Jack Hobbs, in his kindly way, says England must not under-rate the Aus tralians; I say England can make the greater mistake of over-rating them.

LESSON OF LAST TESTS.

The lesson to Australian cricket from

the last Tests is that its batamen, save one or two, are at sea" on a wicket- slightly damaged by rain (thanks to the foolish policy of covering the wickets during all-big games); that the attack has ines a lot of its effectiveness; and that compared with 1921, the side will require a severe disciplining in the field.

The English publie can rest assured that Australia will send over a strong batting side next summer and there will be some new and attractive, young men to watch. But how will some of these shape if the season be only moderately dry

On the only damaged wicket he had in Australia Tate, of Sussex, was unplay able. To my mind he will be the stumbling block in the Australians' pro- gress next season

But what is troubling the cricket ex- Perts of the Commonwealth most is the quality of the attack. Gregory is not the terror he was, and there will be no Mac- lonald for the other end. There is no other fast bowler in sight, and it looks as if the team will have to come over with only one" express" bowler of Test calibre.

M. A. Noble wrote at the end of the last Australian season: There is no thing wrong with the fast bowling of Australia except that it is not fast enough."

Ryder will have to step into the gap with less than three-quarter pace stuff, and no English first-rate batsman finds Ryder hard to play. In the slow depart ment Australia is better supplied with Mailey, Grimmett, and possibly Hart- kopf.

AUSTRALIA'S HOPE.

Grimmett will probably be the surprise of the tour. Though known for many. years in minor cricket in Australia, he did not get his chance against England until the last Test match, when he took Halloween Dinner. Members intend-11 wickets for 82 runs. He has great ing to be present are again reminded to command of length and spin, and though send in their names and list of guests primarily a good-wicket bowler, these promptly to Sergt. A.

samic qualities make him very effective on a damaged wicket. His wrong 'un," which he uses sparingly, is also a source of trouble to batsmen, as many bave found to their cost.

Outside the bowlers mentioned the only other possibility is Arthur Richardson, the South Australian, who will probably be brought over because he is the only exponent of clasa in Australia to-day of the old-fashioned style of medium-pace Cor-length bowling. But he is far from being

I am not a pessimist when it comes to my country's cricket, but honesty com- pels me to the belief that the men from the Commonwealth will have to fight for every run next season, and that they will find opposed to them an Eagland eleven that will give them battle in the manner we used to know in the days before the
