"It is good that during my Mayoralty the cricket Ashes have again come to England," said the Lord Mayor, Sir Kynaston Studd, at a dinner at the Mansion House. "Some of you have no doubt seen the photograph of those who first brought the Ashes here," said Sir Kynaston. "They included my two brothers and Lord Darnley. I assure you, as one who played against the Australians and knows them, that they are no mean side to heat. "Though we have won the three first Test matches of this tour we had a great deal of luck in the first two. I think Chapman is the finest captain England has had."
