TEST CRICKET.
FOUR-DAY PROBLEM. (BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT.) (AUSTRALIAN AND N.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION.) (Received January 31st, 11.5 p.m.) LONDON, January 30. The "Observer" says that Australia has her team in being to-day, and, asks: Shall England have hers one, two, or three months' 'hence? And even if assembled on paper, what will be its prospects of becoming welded into sucli unity as the visitors will bo by daily practice P
Discussing tlie controversy over the four-day Tests, tho "Observer" asks: What are the chances of bringing encounters to a finish in three days when the sides opposed have quite supernormal batting power, with bowling not above ordinary Tost level, and liable to bo reduced? "We know tho argument that four-day matches would reduce the county teams for a whole week. This means that we meet Australia, not with our whole strength and energy, but only with what we can spare," it states. Cricket authorities ought to have ddcided at the outset whether they regarded victory in the Test as a supremo or limited consideration. If tho former, then we ought to have fourday matches.
