THE SECOND TEST MATCH
JACK HOBBS ON CHANCES OF ENGLAND IMPORTANCE OF WINNING THE TOSS LONDON, June 22. While Hammond can continue winning the toss, Jnck Hobbs does not think that England will lose the second test; but if Bradman wins, Hobbs believes that England will have difficulty in avoiding defeat. Hobbs, in an article in the “Star,” adds; “I doubt whether we gave the Australians enough credit for saving the first test. If our batsmen had gone in and played with their backs to the wall, the majority of writers would have lauded their great effort. “All cricketers to whom I have spoken agree that the Australians did the only thing possible. I subscribe to that view."
