DING-DONG FIGHT
ENGLISH EXPERTS GRATIFIED ALL CRICKETERS REJOICE (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 1.30 p.m. LONDON, Sunday. Clem Hill cables that the prospects for Australia have improved 50 per cent., and in a fine eulogy of Ryder says that it is gratifying that Australia has a captain capable of leading the side in a real fight. The Australians at last have realised that Larwood is not the demon they thought. Plum Warner says everyone rejoices that Australia is again in her old fighting mood, refusing to give in. He sees no reason why England shouldn’t win. Lord Tennyson, in a lengthy eulogy of the recovery, declares it is anybody’s game. Cricketers throughout the world are anticipating a ding-dong fight. He expressed the opinion that Freeman should replace White, and wonders why Australia perseveres with Grimmett. Bettington should undoubtedly be used. Woolley expects that Australia will score 500.
