LONDON, Oct. 30

Mr I’. F. Warner, in the “Morning Post,” writes: The total scores prove the excellency of the Adelaide Oval pitch and also the importance of bowlers on both sides. Grimmett was the only one gaining any measure of success. T am glad that six-ball overs will rule in the tests, and I wish it had been the universal rule. I have not yet met a howler, either English or Australian, preferring the eightbull over. Unless tlioy have altered their opinions recently, the leading Australian players are emphatically opposed to it. The problem of our bowling will take some solving. Tate may make all the difference, but the scoring in the tests will probably bo very high. Tt may turn out the best strategy to play as many batsmen as possible. It is satisfactory that both Leyland and. A feud came off, as their selection was a target for some criticism.
