CRICKET

JACK HOBBS ON THE TEST

United Press Association —By Electrio Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, December 7. Jack Hobbs, cabling to the “Star,” congratulates Jardine on his captaincy, and gives Larwood the majou honours of the victory. He expressed! the opinion that Australia must make several changes in the next test, but it would be wise not to repeat the occasional mistakes of the English selectors in trying too many players. O’Reilly made his leg break lift disconcertingly, and howled so well that he (Hobbs) confessed he would have trembled for England’s chances if she had to make 150 in the last knock.

Hobbs was unable to detect any weakness in McCabe, who is a really great ’cricketer. If Bradman were also playing on top form, the , t test story may have been, very different.
