M. A. Noble, the foriner Australian captain, pays tribute to Eddie Payn- ter, the Lancashire left-hander, who, he says, is one of the greatest fighters in cricket history.

SECOND CRICKET TEST MATCH REFLECTIONS

Drastic Changes Unlikely In England's Team

(By "E. AbD{(")

After the somewhat depressing third day the events of yesterday's play in the second Test Match come as relief to the supporters, of Eng- land. The pressure of time prevents any close analysis and I have not been able to listen in to the ball by ball account. Thus I have to work upon two vague generalisations, ono that the wicket appeared to be damp but grew caster towards the end of the English Innings: and the other, that there were a lot of dropped catches. This latter statement, If correct, may be of great moment in trying to sum up the fluctuations of the game, but so far I have only been able to locate one definite miss, when Wright missed McCabe off Farnes. It was hard luck on the fast bowler, but It does not seem to have made much difference to the game.

It is now officially announced that the title fight for the lightweight box--
