HOBBS LAMENTS ENGLAND'S DEFEAT

IN AUSTRALIA

BLAMES POOR BATTING: SUTCLIFFE SADLY MISSED

TRIBUTE TO DON BRADMAN

JACK HOBBS, in his cabled comments to the Star on the Test match defeat of England by an innings and 200 runs, said:

I have no hesitation in asserting that the Ashes were won or lost on the third day of the fourth Test.

He declared: Bradman is more than one man in a team.

Ills 200 at Adelaide (fourth Test), coupled

Fleetwood Smith's with smart bowling, was on one side of the sente, and on the other was our bad batting on the third day, after our bowlers had done excellently on a pe

peach of a wicket.

If our batsmen had come up to scratch on the Monday, und pushed home Lie advantage gained by the bowlers, we could have allowed Bradman to get 200 and still pulled

it oft.

THE MISSING BOWLER

A few of our batsmen never struck

form,

We sadly missed Sutcliffe, and one or two lower down.

Owing to injuries and the failure of certain batsmen to reproduce their home form, we carried pas- sengers in every Test, Another cause of defent was the lack of a tip-top spin-bowler of the Malley-Grimmett-Hordern type,

victory going with it every time.

We do not intend to squeal about our defeat in the last Test.
