NAGEL'S MODESTY
"THE WIND HELPED ME"
HOBBS'S WARM TRIBUTE
(Received 22nd November, 11 a.m.) LONDON, 21st November. "Amazing M.C.C. Rout" and "Bowling of Unknown Bouts' M.C.C." were posters greeting Londoners hurrying to business. ■■■~
The "Evening Standard" describes the collapse as incredible, and quotes Nagel's modest explanation, "Cricket is a curious game. The wind helped me to swing the ball: That is the only reason for my success."
J. B. Hobbs, commenting on Nagel's performance in the "Star," makes no excuse for the batting collapse, and adds: "Nagel's performance is easily the best I have seen on an Australian dry wicket."
