JACK HOBBS, in his cabled comments to the Star

the Test match defeat of England by an innings and 200 runs, said:

Hammond started sensationally with four eansecutive centuries, but he got stale and tired and falled to hold his form long enough. **** Ceyland, doubtless feeling hire sponsibilities, had to play cricket foreign to his nature, and he was not tie free pinyer we know at home.

Ames kept better than I have ever seen before, although he was under a disability.

In a way, Australia were lucky to get away with 14.

LEG-THEORY

I admired him before, but he went down in my estimation a bit this four because he exploited leg-theory too much.

He did not attack enough, and was afraid to take a fifty-fifty chance of being hit by the bats- men; he relled too much on them getting themselves - out. Great bowlers of the post scorned defensive bowling.
