CRICKET.
SYDNEY PRESS CRITICISM. ON BRISBANE DEBACLE. (Australian Press Association) (United Service.) (Received this day at 11.25. a.m.) SYDNEY, Dec. G. The “Herald” says Australia had the worst of the luck in the test, but this is no excuse for the failure. It seems that Australia got its tail down. Not the least remarkable feature is the recovered standard of the English bowling. English fielding and team work arc unsurpassed. Every critic was wrong in the surmise that the English team has a tail. It has none. Oregon's injury is a calamity to Australia. The Australians second innings although a forlorn hope, was a shocking .submission to the Englishmen’s dominance. The “Telegraph” says England’s victory was too decisive to allow excuses. The luck was on the side of the visitors, hut their superiority. wav beyond all cavil. However, the margin of difference between English and Australian cricket is nothing like what the Brisbane scores suggest, and the destination of the laurels has still to be decided.
