CRICKET COMMENTS. LONDON, May 20. Warner says the Marvlebone matclr leaves an impression that the Aus-;' raiian batsmen have not yet run into true form and they are weaker after . No six than any Australian XI for a great many years. Their bowling is better than I have seen it, all bowl at . the wicket at present. I am most optimistic that England will win the rubber and that the visitors are improving daily. Trevor says the Australians made quite a good impression op their first ’.' appearance at Lords. Two of the four bowlers created a pleasant surprise, the wicket-keeping was first and - the fielding good. . CRICKET CONFERENCE. (Received this day at .11 a.m.) LONDON, May 21. H. D. Swan and A. J. Fisher represented New Zealand at a-meeting ■ of the Imperial Cricket Conference at Lords,, which approved of a number of alterations ,to the rules, including ’ one regarding residential qualifications.
