■NEVER SERIOUSLY CHALLENGED
(Received March 2, HKciO a.mj SYDNEY, This Day. The Herald says that probably no series of Tests has been ,so completely devoid of match interest or thrilling fluctuatione of fortune as the one just closed In the Adelaide match only was therr ? semblance of .- close fight Throughout the season the Knglishmen ■have been, handicapped by illnesses and accidents to players,. entitling them to tiie genuine sympathy of everyone. The Australian superiority with the bat and ball and in the field wag never seriously challenged. The "Boeie" style of bowk ing had been successful, and was a. domi nant feature of the season's play. Mailey deserves warm congratulations on his success. A striking lesson taught was the importance of slip fielding. It is impossible to estimate the influence of catches held or dropped during.the season. It is a tremendous encouragement to bowlere to know that they are supported by good slips, who should be •specialist*, just as the wicketkeeper. Both countries are now level-tmeeine with forty Tests each. S S> Douglas and Armstrong, interviewed, both declined tc comment on the incidents of the game.
