R. Abbit Discusses

India's Cricket Team Now In England

Although it cannot be said that the All India side at present in England ranks with the Australians or oven with South Africa, there is no doubt that they are a useful lot of crickoters, and that cricket is advancing by leaps and bounds in India. Before very long it seems probable that they will be at least as good a South Africa and will have a reasonable chance of defeating England's full strength-occasionally at any rate.

At present it looks as if they are cluded a century by the new hitter only slightly better than the West Gimblett-(who unless I am much Indian team was in about 1000, or mistaken comes from West Bockland perhaps about the equal of New Zen-School in Devonshire), and it was land's best sides.
