ENGLISHMEN IN AUSTRALIA. (Per Press Association.) Melbourne, January 16. "Observer" in the Argus says the batting of the Englishmen in the third test match was very disappointing, and there was nothing in the- wicket to get rid of them so cheaply. One factor in their failure, he states, was the marvellous succession of catches -the Australians brought off, and in this respect rivalled the best tradition of Australian cricket. Referring to the latter, Blackham averred that in all his experience he never saw such a brilliant exhibition. •• Mid-on " in the Leader says the poor performance of the Englishmen can only be accepted as one of those inexplicable disappointments which will crop up at times so long as cricket lasts and that any attempted explanation must be fallacious and misleading. Sydney, January 14. The total takings at the gates at the three test matches amount to £7200.
