TEST CRICKET
AUSTRALIA’S CHANCES IN FIFTH MATCH Australian Press Association. London, March 6. Clem Hill, in the “Daily Telegraph,” says there is not much to choose between the Test teams, but, he adds, “I consider Australia’s chances much brighter in the fifth. If Australia wins the toss, tt will be 6 to 4 on her chance. If England wins the toss it will be 5 to 4 in her favour. The changed outlook is due, first, to-the fact that ever since the second Test our batsmen have overcome Larwood, and, more important still, we have gained two game young fighters in Jackson and Bradmap, and we shall have two opening bowlers capable of taking advantage of a new ball. There is a lot of talk of including Alexander, but he has a lot to learn. At present he is a wild tearaway, about as fast as Larwood, but most erratic.”
