Value of Winning the Toss
LATE EDITION
GREAT SPIN BOWLING. United Press Association—By Electric TelegTaph.—Copyright. Received Tuesday, 2 a.m. ADELAIDE, Feb. 1. C. G. Macartney comments: “The match has now developed into a second innings light with Australia occupying a healthy position. The value of winning the toss should reveal itself from now on provided Australia’s batsmen play to ordinary expectations. “Barnett to-day had his lively moments but his innings was punctuated by slices of good fortune. He was one of the few batsmen who displayed vigorous tactics and also showed commendable restraint in dealing with Fleet-wood-Smith. Altogether it was an admirable and valuable innings well supported by Ames. The latter is an ideal batsman in a critical situation. “The remainder of the side were never comfortable confronting either O’Reilly or FleetwetV Smith. The former hardly sent down a loose ball every one of which had a set purpose and what rims came from them were due to the sheer skill of the batsman. “Fleetwood-Smith maintained astonishing accuracy and control. His figures certainly do not reveal the high quality of his bowling. McCormick was not impressive. At no time during the Test series has the combination of the Australian side reached such a high standard as to-day. ’ *
