THE THIRD TEST. England Retains Ashes. There can be no question that land has deserved the honour of retaining the ashes. The holders were the superior team in the third test. Losing the toss, they hud the disadvantage of the fourth innings lO face. The Australian batting showed an improvement and the fact that four batsmen secured centuries goes to show that the Australian batting is very little, it anything, below the standard of previous years. But the weakness is in the bowling. For a veteran like Blackie to have to be relied upon to be the principal at--1 tacking agent proves the decadence of the" bowlers. Australia had the chance to win the match in the fourth innings but the bowling was not good enough.
