THE NEWS OF DEFEAT. , I ■ J I EFFECT IN ENGLAND. > | * i Received 11.55 a.m. ’ LONDON, Nov. 23. \ The London press is perturbed over | the cricket defeat. j Thje Times describes it as a decided j check, demolishing the idea that ■ tralian cricket has fallen below the old standard. It expects New South Wales to furnish at least sevfcn men for th<? first test matfch team, and says MacArtney is as great as ever, and Gregory is the right kind of fast bowler for test matchjes. The Daily News says the defeat shocked the British public almost ass badly as Mr Balfour’s first accoupt of the Jutland battle, and adds that Douglas has not an easy task in keeping thie ashes.
