THE ENGLISH XI. LONDON. May 6
The “Sunday Times” thinks as a result of the trials it can now forecast the English Eleven for the test as follows Hobbs, Hearne, Hendren, Woolley, Carr, Chapman, Kilner, Tate, Macaulay, Hoot and Smith, and adds: “We cannot do without Hoot, but if we play him we must strengthen the batting and play Smith (Warwickshire) instead of Strudnick. LONDON. June 6. We are Laving a bad time now, but we will warm them up next Saturday, was the comment of the Australians, while wickets were falling at Bradford. Nevertheless the collapse was surprising as the wicket was good. There were no star bowlers and the Australians failure on successive days has set the critics going. The discoveries of new bowlers is becoming common. Saturday’s bowling was well backed up j by keen fielding. The coal strike is causing travelling difficulties. The team spent five hours instead of three in getting to Bradford. The last nine miles were completed in a charabanc thereby saving further time. The team did not retire until one on Satmday morning. They drew stumps at four in order to allow the team to go to Sutherland. The players are well, but travel tired.
