This last named fight standing for its hard hitting and the punishment which both contestants gave and took.

Congratulations to England on winning two out of the first able men as Fua. Owens and Fus. three Tests. This is a genuine tribute to a great team.

But I must say that the odds in favour of England's victory in the second game were enormous.

Allen won the toss and his team batted for nearly two days on a per- feet wieliel-and then came the rain and Australia's downfall.

Such a state of affairs robs a Tesl match of its true meaning and raises once again the argument in favour of covering the wickets.

Until both sides are assured equal condillons, the word "Test" means nothing.

Although 1 realise that weather conditions are part and parcel of the game nobody will ever convince me that these are real tests until equal conditions apply to both sides.

STILL OPTIMISTIC Despite England's overwhelming victories I am sull optimistic about Australia's chances.

I believe that Australia will win the next two if she plays in keeping with her reputation.

Collectively she has a better bal- ting side than Englund.

After all, three men are currying the burden of England's batting- Hammind, Leyland und Barnett.

I cannot ever recall two batsmen 50 far below their best form like Hardstaff and Fagg having been selected for Tesis.

The only cause I can And for Hardstaff's mysterious failure is staleness, due to having played three successive seasons practically without a rest.

TAKE CARE! England must take care. There is to with these two great victorles their credit a grave risk of them failing to recognise that their team to-day lacks the solidity of former English teains.
