England's Younger Players Praised

London, Oct. 31. Replying to speeches of wel- come to the Australian Test team at Adelalde, Mr. W. H. Jeanes, who managed the team while in England, said that drawn Test matches would be almost unknown in the future. An extension in the duration of Test matches was certain. Australia must build for the future. England's strength in- dicated that there would be a hard tussle in the next series.

Bradman said that English cricket was stronger than for many years, and that the col- Edrich, lective strength of Compton and Hutton, far out- rivalled any Australian trio.

London, Oct. 20. Unless South Africa has been hiding another Vogler or Faulk- ner the England team which steps aboard the Athlone Castle to-morrow is going to get a lot of batting exercise this tour.

Perhaps as much in the last Test at Durban as at the Oval in August. It is a play-to-a-finish match and South African bowling looks a hundred runs worse than Bradman's 1938 attack. Another Hutton holiday?

A critical period for him.

Apparently there is a world slump in bowling just as in heavy-weight boxers. My Information is that Langton and Balaskas, of the last team here, could find no form last scaron, which seems to leave the cupboard very bare,

We are not so hot in the depart- ment, but good enough, with the stack of runs we ought to have to play with.

Speedsters Farnes and Perks may have a thin time in South Africa's thin air, with Perks not finding the ball so movable as it is in our "pen soun."

Fiammond will probably do best with his spinners, notably Wright Goddard, Wilkinson, And here's wishing Wright a good health trip. This means a lot to English cricket.

CRITICAL FOR EDRICH

Edrich will be well advised to realise he is starting all over again on this tour, and not bank too much on having got Into the fifth Test last Bummer on a unanimous vote of the selectors.

M.C.C. WERE RIGHT

There has been some trouble over M.C.C.'s firm refusal to allow end-to- and wicket covering at the close of play, but this will not be permitted to affect the harmony of the tour.
