SYDNEY PRESS COMMENTS
"THIS TS INDEED A TEST."
(Received January 17, 11.20 a.m.)
' SYDNEY, This Day. The Sydney Sun's Adelaide correspondent writes that Hearne's condition fails to- show signs of marked improvement, and the Englishmen fear that lie will be unable to assist them much more during the tour. His absence during the Australians' innings was most noticeable. With Howell and Douglas tiring, Hearne would have been invaluable as a bowler and in keeping down the runs. The Herald, paying a tribute to the run-stealing proclivities of Hobbs and Rhodes, said they had the crowd jumping with excitement. They have stolen hundreds of runs ;n their careers, but they pa-id the price on Saturday. What had never happened before, to England's bad luck, happened no*'. Th« Telegraph says: "This is indeed a Te3t. The honours appear with the invaders, whose score, in spite of their attenuated tail, promises a fight to the finish." Oldfield played an astonishing innings, easily the best of the match.
