ENGLISH TEAM CRITICISED BATSMEN BEATEN BY FAST BOWLING By Cable.—Press Association. — Copyright. Reed. 9.5 a.m. LONDON, Friday. “After making allowance for all excuses, the fact remains that English cricket has again failed,” says the “Daily Mail,” “chiefly because the batsmen do not know how to play fast bowling.” “Certainly, the selectors did not regard South African cricket seriously, and did not attempt to collect a reprensetative team, hut England’s batting is disquieting. “If South Africa is able to do this, Heaven help us In Australia. Happily, there is still time for the younger players to discover that good length, spin-bowling pays best. Also, the way to play fast bowling is to go forward. “If Larwood’s knee recovers, England will commence the tour in Australia with a tremendous asset. Australia does not possess a pair of bowlers equal to Tate and Larwood.” —Sun cables.
