ADELAIDE, November 8. Clem Hill says; Thn English fielding is not .up to test match .standard. It lacks v the Cha P man-Hobbs-Herdren calibre. They are glow- bowlers. The English batting, is solid. Brown :s a formidable slow Verity u subtle, avith an easy action, and has a tricky spin on Australia’s bet e noire, an unfavourable Avicket. Richardson & test claims are paramount, because of his partiality to combat the speed of Larwood and Bowes. The latter is not dangerous unless the ball flies. TATE REACHES FREMANTLE.

The pace of Bowes’ bowling is causing a mild concern among the Austra'inn batsmen. On o devilish-looking chine, in the Perth match, pitched •short and simply flew pest the k'cpor and slips. Then, being afraid of in-

juring somebody, he bowled at half Pane. . Jardine, tliei skipper is an ardent lover of dogs, and makes friends with them wherever he goes. Bradman has/ been selected to play with an Australian XI against the tourists in Melbourne, on .November, 18. The. Australian team is-- a- strong combination, and is composed chiefly of test players. . The M.C.C. team is not remarkable for its brilliant fielding- capacity, for tho shining .lights, cf recent years are not now in their ranks. Hob’s.
