THE FINAL TEST PRAISE FOR RYDER LONDON, March 17. P. F. Warner, in tho ‘ Morning Post,’ says :V “I can hear the kookaburra chuckling over my bad prophesying. Australia won a great vie-* tory. She played the better cricket, and thoroughly deserved her success. Ever since the advent of the sew generation she has gone from strength to strength, and it is evident that the fight in 1930'will be a stern business. Australia may well be proud of her young men, particularly Jackson and Bradman, while she has discovered a high-class bowler in Wall. A special word is due to Ryder, who faced difficulties with calmness and dignity, and inspired the team by his own splendid batting.”—Australian Press Association.
