LAMENT OF CARDUS
MEDIOCRE CRICKET
ABSENCE OF MASTERS
(Received 16th January, 10 a.m.) LONDON, 15th January. Neville Cardus, -writing in the "Observer," lamenting the mediocrity of batting, says:—"l am no lover of leg theory- violence, but I cannot withhold admiration of Larwood's power, to transform the lazy turf of Adelaide into a field of tribulation for Woodfull and Bradman. My reason for thinking England will win the rubber is not optimism, but rank pessimism about cricket generally. The Australians must be b.ad, if they are worse than England. Private advices suggest that the. Englishmen are the worst fielders ever seen in big cricket in Australia. I suppose it will 'be admitted that the Australians are the worst batting side that ever wore pads in a Test, but the absence of masters is producing rare fun."
