CRICKET.
PLUM WARNER.
Australian Pi’ess Assn.—United Service
LONDON, Oct.* 15,
“I cannot s&e any. Australian bowlers who can get us out without a reasonable cost. Australia, too, is immensely powerful in batting but will meet heavier metal in Tate and Larwood, which should Just turn the scale in our favour. Hammond, too, should be a useful bowler, therefore I think England should win the rubber,” is “Plum” 'Warner’s summing up in the “Morning Post,” of .j England’s chances. The capture of Australian wickets will need super bowlers, he continues. “Happily we have Tate still with us and he will get better fielding support than four years ago. No anxiety is felt for our batting and we are confident our fielding will win a high reputation. Given ordinary luck in casualties, weather and the toss, we should retain the Ashes. Nevertheless, Australia has much younger talent which augurs well for the future.
