THE FINAL TEST
"PLUM" WARNER'S VIEWS. AUSTRALIANS THE BETTER SIDE. COMMENT ON ENGLISH PLAYERS
(United Press Association—Copyright.) (Received This Day, 11.25 a.m.) •" ' LONDON, August 3. F. P. Warner, writing in the "Morning' Post," discussing the prospects for the final Test, which starts at the Oval on August 16, says: "The impression that the earlier Tests leave is that the Australians are the better team. Though England possesses fane individual players, the side dop not seen to blend as a combination, largely owing to lack of all-rounders. Our batting has not quite reached expectations, despite individual good efforts Leyland has not done all expected of him His length is inadequate. Parker is the most effective left-hand bowler in England, but, being 46 years ot age, he is a poor bat and field. Nevertheless, if a soft wicket were assured he would strengthen the bowling. Chapman-is t an inspiring leader, but seems to have declined a little as a tactician."
