FINAL TEST NOW
♦ Hope of England London, February 4. The evening patters’ Test theme is disappointment combined with hopefulness for the fifth Test. Mr. 11. A. H. Carson, writing in Hie ‘'Evening News.’’ says that the defeat was duo firstly to England's lost opportunity in lhe first innings, ami secondly to tlie bowling of FleetwoodSmith, who bowled better than ever previously. O'Reilly was comparatively innocuous and McCormick was inaccurate. England was much inferior io the Australians between the wickets, Australian pitches being far more suitable to Fleetwood-Smith than to Farues, Voce and Allen. AUSTRALIA’S CHANCE Sydney, February 5. The "Sydney Morning Herald’s" cricket writer points out that Australia Ims a chance lo make history, for no side has won three Tests after losing the first two. Only once previously has the fifth Test been won by lhe side which won the first two.
