CRICKET.
PRESS CRITICISMS.
ENGLISHMEN OUTCLASSED.
By Telegraph.—Press Aasn.—Copyright. London, May I. Critics are publishing lengthy reviews of England’s prospects in the test matches. The Observer thinks the Australian eleven the greatest fielding side the present generation has seen. Armstrong has the best set of men in the slips since the days of McLaren, Braund, Foster and Jones. England has nothing in the same class. For this reason the visitors have the tests already half won. English opinion is principally concerned with the weakness of the English bowling and the poor fielding, the Westminster Gazette thinking the latter is the principal difference betweeit the teams.—United Service. Received May 2, 5.5 p.m. London, May 1. Philip Trevor, writing in the Daily Telegraph, says that the Australians are not over-rated. McDonald's bowling is consistently excellent, and Macartney's wrist work superb. His placing of the ball between the fieldsmen is not unworthy of Kangi. His forcing shots in front of cover point are especially masterly. Bardsley Is the Bardsley of old.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
