TEST PROSPECTS. KELLEWAY’S COMMENTS. LONDON. May 20. “ The weather and the strike have combined to prevent the Australian howlers settling down,” says Air Kolleawy in the “ Daily Express.” “ Nobody supposes that Ryder and Richardson can outbowl England. Collins’s batting is patchy, and I have rarely seen Bardsley more uncomfortable than against Haig. Though AVoodfull and Ponsford made runs, it was not with their usual easv confidence. Andrews and Taylor were cramped. Nobody seems capable of Gregory’s aggressiveness. Still, t am confident that Australia will put up a splendid fight at Trent Bridge. As far as T can see the best Englishmen get themselves out against the most mediocre howling. 1 was not impressed by Carr at Lords. He did too much wild swishing for tests. I have not seen anwtbing wonderful in the howling, apart from Haig and Falcon, hut T doubt if tlie former is up to the lest standard.
