CRICKET.
THE AI.C.C Ti'-A-M
WELLINGTON, October 13.
-Mr F. Wilding, ' K.C., of Christchurch who returned from England in the Arawa, says: “The batting averages of the English team tliat is now wn its way to Australia convince me that Australia will he fully extended. I anticipate that the Australian howling will he better, but the English batting and fielding will leave very little to be desired, and I shall be surprised if England does not win two out of the live test matches. 1 believe the Australians will win the rubber, but lacy will by no means have the walkover that Armstrong’s team had in the fast two series. The English fielding is very good. A.s a spectacular batsman, "Woolley stands out alone, but for safety I prefer Ilendren and Hobbs, and of the two I would place llendren first. .Sutcliffe is also a very
line batsman. lii fact, there is not a weak batsman in the team.''
