ADELAIDE, November 8. CieiE. Hill, criticising the Englishmen on their play eo far, eaye Parkin is a sort of "johnny all sorts" bowler. Hβ bowis an off and le<j break, a googly and a good, fast one, but Hill is inclined to believe Sβ ia not able to Gnin the ball enough on Australian wickets to bv dangerous, lie compares Howell to Cotter, but he- is not so fast. Wilson is j tho beet slow bowler in the team, but Hill thinks Douglas wiU be England's stay in. tho bowling line. On tho whole, he "considers the visitors' bowling streug-th much in- j foiior to that of the last English eleven j v,\hich visited Australia-. Tie "team has no i such great bov.-lere as Barnes nnd Foster. In ' fielding, the team is lacking in tho activity which characterised the previous English j elevens. Hill's opinion ie that, Australia ! has quilo an even chance of -winning tho I rubber. lie is much impreserd with Hen- i j '.heii's batting and Russell's and Makepeace's I'Solid, defc!csiv& play looks ne if Marylebone j hns chosen itho batsman for eolidnees rather than brilliance EXGLAXD v.
