THE COMING TESTS

KAY LAST SEVEN OR EIGHT DAYS "PLUM" WARNER'S VIEWS Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, November 13, "Plum” Warner, in the ‘Morning Post,' says: “-One thousand four hundred and forty-seven runs for twenty wickets, or an average of 72 per wicket, is an argument for those advocating the abolition of the ‘ shirt front ’ pitch, it looks as if, given strong batting teams and fine weather, four days will rarely be sufficient to bring a match in Australia to a conclusion. My view is that there is nothing wrong with the laws of cricket, but wo should return to a normal wicket. Some of the coming tests may well last seven or eight days. Kippax is now certain of a place in the Australian eleven. Bradman’s career is remarkable for one so young. He delights im giving tho bowler the push, as A. G. Steele put it. Kippax and Bradman have _ apparently mastered Freeman by going down the pitch to him.”
