AUSTRALIANS IN ENGLAND.
STRENGTH IN ATTACKLONDON, March fi.
The "London Observer," reviewing the tost matches, states that the accepted opinion is that batting was the Australians' strong point. It asserts that the coming tour in England will show that the Australians' bowling and fieldimr are considerably stronger than their hatting. Oregon- and Mailey are likely to have a triumphal progress if they keep tit and well throughout, the tour. If the Auatr&lfen team fails in England it will bo due to lack of runs. Douglas' most serious mistake in Australia was omitting Fender and Wilson from any test match and including llowcll and Waddington. The refusal of the Australians to arrange a match with Derbyshire in February was described at the Derbyshire Club's annual meeting as scurvy treatment. It ivas stated that after the club had guaranteed the £200 demanded the Australians still refused, pointing out that the state receipts at the Derby match in 1012 were only £80. The club contends that this was duo to wet weather.—(A. and N.Z. Cable.)
