CRICKET.

COMMENT OF FOURTH TEST. (United Press. Association.—Hv Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) LONDON, .Tan. AO; C'lein Mill, in a cable to the “ Dotty Telegraph.” states:—‘‘lf Australia wins the toss and rain does not intervene she should have a good chance of winning. If England wins the toss the odds will greatly favour her. She will have the advantage in running between the wickets and more knowledge of the finer points of test cricket. Jackson is going to keep his position as opening batsmen for some years, especially if Woodful is at the other end. The choice of Andrews as the twelfth man when Richardson is on the spot is hevond me. Chapman and Richardson have proved the most outstanding fieldsman throughout tlie tests. Oxenliam has done nothing to warrant liis re-iiHusion. Our hatting is good and sound, hut our howling is not strong.” FOURTH TEST. ENGLISH TEAM. (Australian Press Association) ADELAIDE, Jan. 31.
