GREAT BATTING SIDE

AUSTRALIA PRAISED FOR WIN IN SECOND TEST

LONDON, Wednesday. The total attendance at the second test match at Lord’s was 115,000.

The English captaiu, Mr. A. P. P. Chapman, said it was a magnificent game, and the Australians thoroughly deserved to win. Their great batsraanship turned the scales. England lived to fight again at Leeds on July 11-15. Mr. A. C. Maclaren, a former captain of English test match teams, said England died gamely. No doubt Larwood and Sutcliffe would make a very big difference when they returned. He felt sure there would be different scoring cards at Leeds, but -Australia had played a better game than England. Grimmett was the man England must defeat. The “Daily Herald’’ says it is understood that even before stumps were drawn the English selectors had be"un a prolonged inquest upon the defeat. Chapman and Hobbs last evening had a good deal to say. As a result, drastic changes are already contemplated, says the 'Herald.” Woolley and Allen, and Probably Robins and White, will be replaced. EVENLY MATCHED The “Daily Express” asks if the selectors will not give consideration to R. Tyidesley, Parker, W. Voce, T. '*• Goddard and Nichols. Mr. p. F. Warner says the Australians deserved their success, but there is no need for pessimism in regard England’s chances for the rubber. The two countries seem to be fairly evenly matched. One thing is certam, namely, that the four-day test match has come to stay. Mr. M. D. Lyon. In the “Daily telegraph,” says the English selectors in futtre must include two spin bowlers instead of one. “In the meantime,” he adds, “let us share in he joy 0 f that great sporting captain, Woodfull. in a well-earned success.’ Other Press comment is couched in erms of highest praise of the Australians’ great batting side, Grimmett's and Bradman’s triumphs, and the many thrills which this game proWed to people on both sides of the "'orld.
