Australians Were Under-Rated

(By R. Abbit)

In my last article I dealt generally with the 1909 tour and the curious errors made by the Selection Committee and by Archie Maclaren which are as puzzling to-day as they were for critics writing directly after the games were over. I do not propose to refer to these again—at all events in any detail.
