HOBBS AS CRITIC. LONDON, March 28
Hobbs, in a lengthy criticism in the newspaper “Dispatch” oil the members of the Australian team and prospects of the tour, says England is strong where the Australians are weak: viz., in the quality of her mediumpaced bowlers, which after all, is generally the backbone of a team’s howling. We are as good cricketers, man for man, in England as in Australia. Only a determination to win is required to prove it. He does not complain that the Australian players newspaper nrticles are permeated with confidence to retain the ashes, but regrets English writers are manifesting a spirit of carping criticism. The visitors certainly are a formidable side, but are not the super-cricketers some people want to make out. His considered opinion is that English cricket at the present time Is equal to Australian.
