SOUTH AFRICAN CRICKETERS

Nowadays we, live summer after suminer a regular rotation of Test natches in this country, against Aus- tralia, South Africa, India, the West. Indies, and New Zealand, and, as the Visiting sides become stronger, their matches with England become Belter and better-worth watching. But up to the present time it may be said, without unduly disparaging our other opponents, that Test matches against the Australians have for cricket en thusiasts an importance and an at mosphere, even if not always a desir- able atmosphere, of their own. The standard of English and Australian erichtet has been botter, though not better, than. that shown in much quarters of the Empire, where ap prenticeship to the game has been shorter, and the development cricket ability has from one cate or another been slower.

It looks as if the distinction might well fall to South Africa, and it would be sitting that it should. For South African cricket has long been good, and the moment of its ultimate triumph has been rather unaccounta- bly deferred. When the South Africans were over in England as lung ago as 1007, they gave us, us patriots of a forner generation will remember, a mesi uncomfort- able time in the Three Test matches which were

every reason to expect that in a year or two we should have as much trouble to hold our own with South Africa as we alrendy had with Au-; tralia.

LEAN YEARS

This promise has not yet been fufilled. The South African eleven which took part in the Triangular Tournament of 1912 showed itself, to the general surprise, rather out- classed. There followed an interval of lean years, and recovery has been slow. Two visits have been paid to England slnen the War, dne in 1024 and the second in 1820. Both teams contained able batsmen and bowlers, but neither proved quite the equal of our best side. And, though the Inter of the two fared the better in the Test matches, and ended up the series with a score of 492 for eight In a drawn game at the Oval, it was not specially effective as a match- winner, for it lost seven and only won nine of its first-class engage-

meats.

Ohvlously the first task required of any cleven,which comes here to play Test matches is that it should show n consistent and definite superiority in the minor matches upon its pro- gramme. Many teams, It

is true, have done unexpectedly well on the biggest occasions, but, generally speaking, unless a team can make fairly certain of overwhelming coun- ty and University skies, it is not like- ly to show to advantage In Test matches. Duri the last four tours of the Australians in England no county has ever beaten them, the pearest approach to such a result being their le with Gloucestershire in 1030.

A fine of $10 was imposed on both summonses.
