SUPERIOE SKILL
FINE FIELDING BY ENGLISHMEN
Australian Press Association.
(P.eceived 9th February, 2 p.m.)
SYDNEY, This Day.
Commenting on the Test match, tho "Sydney Morning Herald" says: "Superior skill and a knowledge of the finer points of the game enabled tho visitors to win. Fine fielding was rovealed by the Englishmen, not a chance being thrown away." The paper deplores Australia's bad luck in having Bradman run out when within 29 runs of victory.
The "Daily Telegraph" says: "England fairly earned the victory. However, the difference of 12 runs was a much better index of the respective merits of the teams than the runaway victories at Brisbane and Sydney. By running England virtually to a deadheat, Australian cricket has redeemed itself."
