A NEW ZEALANDERS'S OPINION.

(BFECIAI, TO"THI- PRESS.") ' V 7 DUNEDIN, January 9. ( Among the passengers by the Moeraki i from Melbourne this morning was Mr C. G. Wilson (the well-known Otago batsL roan), who has spent two months in i Australia, witnessing - filter-State ■ and r test cricket matches. In conversation . with a reporter. Mr Wilson Btated that , the South Africans were a team of i dodders,With one lone hright star in faulkner, who had magnificent offi strokes. He was different from Trumi per, who took risks, while Faulkner did not. The googlie bowling was liable ■ at any time to get Australia out cheaply, Schwarz, in particular, bowling a . siiperh length? but that class of bowl- • ing was no good against left-handers, . as Hill and Bardsley proved in the fir_i i test match, when that pair made tho i bowlers appear veritable novices. SherYell, as a wicket-keeper, had no equal lin Australia, although, of course, he ; had no Cotter to take. Whitty was » the Ijest bowler in Australia to-day, i but Cotter "was by no means "done?" ; Cotter was up against popular feeling ■ in the first test match, but he bowled splendidly. Mr Wilson would not say * that Australia would win the remain- > ing games, because the googlie bowling might oust them at any time.
