TEST CRICKET.
“DEPLORABLE START.” CRITICS SEEK EXPLANATION. Received August 17, 11 a.m. London, Aug. ie. Seeking an explanation of the English batsmen’s “deplorable start” against' New Zealand, the Daily Telegraph’s cricketing writer says: “Tho truth seems to bo that the English batsmen are afflicted with an inferiority complex. As soon as they appear in a Test match they struggle and gropo uncertainly, remembering the occasion and forgetting their strokes. Robins teased the New Zealand tailends out, but it is a disturbing fact that tho English attack could not drive homo the advantage of the flying start.” Tho Daily Mail’s cricketing writer says: “Matthews, in a few overs, cast doubt on the advisability of choosing him against tho Australians. His feet after tho delivery cut up a rough spot just whore O’Reilly and Eleet-wood-Smith wish it.
