There has been no rain since 5 o’clock yesterday, ar.d if the good weather continues the wicket should he fairly hard to-morrow.—Sydney ‘Sun’ Cable. TRIBUTE TO THE BOWLERS LONDON, June 13. (Received June 14, at 11.30 a.m.) Seweli, writing in the ‘Sunday Herald,’ says: “ Carr’s winning of the toss was worth at least 80 runs, but the advantage was jettisoned by the slow scoring. The Hobbs of old would have scored 50 instead of 19 by the adjournment. Sutcliffe was virtually playing for his place. Both scored slowly because the bowlers did not allow them to score fast. So long as our acknowledged best batsmen are hold in such semi-subjection, England has a poor hope of winning the rubber. - The writer points out that an analysis of the receipts showed that the crowd wore paying nearly £IOO per run oa, Saturday.—Sydney ‘ Sun ’ Cable. SLIGHTLY STRAINED FDOT LONDON, June 13. (Received June 14, at 11.30 a.m.) While running between the wickets on Saturday Hobbs slightly strained his foot.—Reuter
