"Sheer apathy helped to lose us the (fishes," writeB Carson in the Evening Jfews, "England did not put the same ppirit into the game as the Australians. I estimate that in an average innings of 300 Australia would gain 50 runs and England would lose as wany by getting full value from every strokA jfchrough apathy. All the Tests were played in the best spirit." The Daily Sketch says that whatever extent the Test beoomes a massacre Allen, if his speech suggests that he thinks he failed. will receive a mountain higjh wave of sympathy in Britain. ff© turned a poor team into a good one. It adds : — "Over-many meaningless picnic matches were played in order to inerease the takings. The Australians Were ufit subjected to such a strain aS Englan®. Marylebone should insist on drastic cuts in the programmes of Aus$ralian tours."
