The Herald says: • "Hobbs pJayedl with enforced restraint, being hampered! by his recent injury in regard to his footwork, especially when endeavouring to bring into play his charming- repertoire- of strokes to the on. Woolley gave the best display of the innings. He is a fred, vigorous, attractive, and 1 sporting batsman, always ready to take a risk. It was unusual to see two fast bowlers opening the attack, but it .was not a slow-bowler's day. Kelleway secured the best figures, a-nd also bowled best, 'several times missing the stumps by a coat of varnish," '■. . , \ The Telegraph says: "If anything can be said about the match, which was poor, it is about the catching of Gregory, who took astonishing catches in the * slips. Carter set the seal, of greatness on .. hia fame as wicketkeeper, and Fender's catching of Macartney and Bardsley was reminiscent of Ranji or Maclaren. .The Englishmen were in trouble throughout the innings, which is a tribute to the bowling of Kelleway, who kicked and swung at will. The match was full o£ possibilities."
