ENGLISH CRICKET
PRE-WAR STANDARD REGAINED.
(DNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.—CBfIRISHI.)
(AUSTRALIAN - S3W Z3ALAND CABLE ASSOCIATION.)
LONDON, 14th August. Cricket experts are highly delighted with the form of the touring team. Unfortunately, Spooner is unable to play regularly owing, it is believed, 'to a slight weakness of the knee. It is feared that he will be unable to assist Lancashire again. Good judges consider that English cricket is SO per cent, above its 1919 form, and is now fully equal to pre-war standard. A special feature is the brilliancy of the fielding, particularly amongst the players who are going to Australia, whose clean gathering-in and lightning returns render anything like short runs a source of positive danger to batsmen.
The county championship order 'is now: Kent, Yorkshire, Surrey, Middlesex, and Lancashire.'
