ENGLISH CRICKET
FORM OP THE TOURING TEAM.
(Rec. August 15, 5.5 p.m.) London, August 14. Cricket experts are highly delighted ■with the form of -the touriug team. Unfortunately, Spooner is unable to play regularly owing, it is believed, to a slight weakness of the knee. It is feared that he will be unable to assist Lancashire again. Good judges consider that English cricket is 50 per cent, alxivo its 1919 form, and is now fully equal to pre-war standard. A specia I feature is the brilliancy of tho fielding, particularly amongst players going to Australia, whoso clean gathering in of lightning returns renders anything like short runs a source of positive danger to batsmen. Surrey defeated Lancashire by 221 runs. Fender took four wickets for 35 runs and five wickets for 03 runs. Parkin, in the second innings, took five wickets for 77 runs. The championship order is now: Kent, Yorkshire, Surrey, Middlesex, and Lancashire. Playing against Sussex in the second innings, Rhodes took eight wickete for 3!) runs; playing against Hampshire, Russell made 108 'runs; and playing against Notts Hearne took fivo wickets for 50 runs.—Aus.-N.Z.
