“WELL UP AGAINST IT”
A HEW ZEALANDER'S OPINION [Per United Press Association.] AUCKLAND, December 17. “Australia is well up against it. 1 think the Englishmen will win all through.” That is the opinion of Mr W. E. Bush, Auckland city engineer, who returned by the Niagara from Sydney. He saw the greater part of the first cricket test, played at Brisbane. “The Englishmen have a very strong batting side,” he said, “ and their bowling is superior to that of the Australians.” One of tho most delightful facts about the Englishmen, said Mr Bush, was tho perfect understanding between Hobbs and Sutcliffe in their first wicket partnership. Their batting and running between tho wickets was beautiful to watch, and they fully deserved the high opinion which_they had won for themselves. Both sides had shown good work in their fielding.
