FAILURE OF THE AUSTRALIANS. WHAT ANOTHER CRITIC SAYS. (BOceived June 17th, 7.25 p.m.) LONDON, June 17. Mr M. D. Lyon, writing in the "Daily Telegraph/' remarks " A great deal has been said and written in the attempt to find an excuse for the failure of the Australians. The truth is that England is tl?a better side. Friday'® rain, if no more falls, should have a beneficial effect for the fourth innings; thus the toss has been far less important than supposed. Moreover, Saturday's wicket was really never sticky."

MATCH PULL OF INTEREST.

WALL'S FORM AS A BOWLER. HOBBS'S BRILLIANT DISPLAY. (Beceived June 17th, 7.25 p.m.) LONDON, June 17. Commenting on the Test match, the Australian Press Association states:— "The bowling looked remarkably cheap before lunch, which was partly due to Hobbs's terrific batteringIt was a different story after lunch when Wall proved himself to be a real He hurled himself into the attack with more vim than he had shown at any previously duringthe tour. Woolley^nd biw,i«.more

he is really of Test match class. Wall invariably bowls better after lunch. "Hobbs, who is 47 years of age, is a cricketing miracle. His running between the wickets was brilliant and audacious. Few Tests have been so chockfull of incident and changes of fortune. There has not been a single moment of dullness. . This sort of cricket will restore love of the game for the game's sake. Whatever happens on th<> last day, the Australians have made a gallant recovery, and have proved that they are the stuff of which Test players are made."
