CRICKET.
PRESS COMMENTS. | By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright Received 24, 12.35 a.m. London, August 23. The Times says that the Australians ] had the worst of the luck. They played a large part of both innings under very difficult conditions, but ought to have done better than they did in the second innnings. Reviewing the tour, it says that Australia had a consistent sound batsman in Bardsley, a fine batsman in Macartney, an att'ractive player in Jennings, and dogged defence with KeTleway, but the body and tail were undependable, and the team had no great bowler. The Daily Mail says that Australia was outplayed in every department. The Sporting Life says that owing to unequal weather conditions for the game it was hardly satisfactory as a test. The Sportsman says possibly that Australia had the worst of the luck, but her batting and bowling were scarcely of the right quality for bad wickets.
