CRICKET.

WARNER’S TIPS. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright). LONDON, Nov. 12. AH’ P. F. AVarner, writing in the “.Morning Post” says Probably Bradman’s 87 gave the most satisfaction to his New South AVales following. On his double century against Queensland, he must be a strong candidate for play in the tests. Aly earlier tip that Kelleway would obtain a place looks like coining off. On recent form, the two best bowlers in Australia seem to be Blackie and Ironmonger. (Received this day at 10.30. a.m.) LONDON, November 13. Air Plum AVarner in the “Morning Post” says 1447 runs for twenty wickets, or an average of 72 per wicket, is an argument for those advocating the abolition of tho sliiitfront pitch. It looks as if given strong batting teams and fine weather foiu days will rarely be sufficient to bring a match in Australia to a conclusion. Aly view (he says) is that there is nothing wrong with the laws of cricket, but we should return to normal wickets. Some of the young tests may well last seven or eight days. Kippax is now certain of a place in the Australian eleven. Bradman’s career is remarkable for one so young. Ho delights in giving a bowler the push, as A. G. Steel put it. Ivippax and Bradman have apparently mastered- treeman by going down the pitch to lam. SYDNEY, Nov. 14. Tho Australian Eleven (not tost) is definitely completed. Ryder is not available. The team is as follows: Richardson (Captain), Scott, Harris, (South Australia), Notliling (Queensland). Andrews, Oldfield, Bettington, Morgan. Hooker, Jackson and Bradman (New South AVales). Scaifo twelfth man. The team is regarded as very ordinary and the Englishmen are"not taking it very seriously. There is considerable press controversy over . the method of the selection. ! WAHISJ
