' Ninety minutes were left when Hornibrook came in. He played two maidens. Fairfax, however, was brilliantly caught on the boundary. The crowd applauded the plucky effort to save the game. Robins was then given the ball and the match ended at 5.35. Hornibrook being caught at the wicket in the first over. He had previously pulled Tyldesley for six. the only one of the match.

Tuesday, j The Australian bowling in the test! match looked remarkably cheap before luncheon yesterday. That was partly due to Hobbs’s terrific batting. It, was a different story after luncheon, vhen Wall proved himself a real bowler. He hurled himself into the attack with more vim than he had shown at any time previously on the tour. Wall deserved Sutcliffe’s wicket, and ihe balls with which he dismissed, Woolley and Chapman were really good ones. If he could produce that ! sort of bowling more often he would quickly remove previous justifiable j doubts as to whether he really is of j test match class. Wall invariably bowls better after luncheon. Hobbs, who is 47 years old. is a cricketing miracle. His running be-: ween the wickets yesterday was bril-j Jiant and audacious. CHANGE OF FORTUNE Few test matches have been so full of incident and changes of fortune. There has not. been a single moment of dullness. That sort of cricket w'ill i restore the love of the game for the | game’s sake. Whatever may happen on the last \ day, the Australians have made a gal-' iant recovery, and have proved that! they are the stuff of which test match ! play#*s are made. M. D. Lyon, writing in the ‘‘Daily Telegraph,” remarks that a great deal has been said and written in an attempt to find an excuse for the failure of the Australians in their first timings, but the truth is that Engifcud is the better side. Friday’s rain, if no more falls, should have a beneeffect for the fourth innings. •-”£ nerefore the toss has been *far less important than was supposed. Moreover, Saturday’s wicket was really never sticky.
