TEST CRICKET

AUSTRALIAN TEAM’S HARD FIGHT

THE CAPTAIN INTERVIEWED

By Telegraph—Press Association-Copyright. (Bee, April 20, 8.20 p. m.) Paris, April 20.

Interviewed, Armstrong considered that his team had a hard fight before it. There was not much between tho Englishmen and the Australians. Carter, and himself were the only ones who previously had played serious cricket in England. Until a few games had been finished he could not express an opinion on the Teste. It was absurd to eay that this was t'he best batting side that had ever left Australia, but the material was all right. He hoped for the best.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
