e CRICKET COMMENT
fAUSTRALIAN & N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION] (Received This Day at 10.35 a.m.) SYDNEY, Dec 20. . The weather is fine for the cricket. A hot day is likley . The “Herald’s” expert says Saturday’s play showed good bowling and bad batting. He attributes the success to the Australian bowling and the inability of the Englishmen to master Mailey, whose worth is not indicated by his analysis. He had the batsmen guessing all the time, making them uncomfortable at both ends. He sent down some gifts, but throughout, he did not faltei 5 in length or persistency. Despite the fine work in the field it was not so impressive as England’s fielding. It needs Australia to break down, or for there to be a brilliant English recovery, to avert the expected result. Tho “Telegraph” states as .an exhibition of first class cricket, the play was lamentable. It is rubbish to talk of super-bowling. Bad cricket is the answer. Only two men on the English sidcf played cricket, Hobbs and Woolley. The former is brilliant, and enterprising, well' liked by Australians, but liked best in the pavilion. He alone among the English, knew how to play Mailey’ 3 googlies.
