MARYLEBOHE'S FORCIBLE REPLY
ENGLISH CRITICS CONGRATULATE COMMITTEE WILL REMAINING TESTS BE PLAYED ? Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, January 24. The ‘ News-Chronicle,’ in a leader on the reply of the M.C.C. Committee to the protest of the Australian Board of Control, says: “If the feeling is as vehement as the Board of Control suggests, then the only way out may be to cancel the remaining matches and recall the team. It is a very deplorable one, and the onus of demanding it is rightly left with Australia.’’ Other newspapers and critics support Marylebone’s reply, and congratulate the committee on expressing itself so forcibly. A. E. R. Gilligan, writing in the ‘ News-Chronicle,’ thinks it is more than likely that the remaining tests will not be played. It would be very much better if they cancelled them than have glorified dog fights at Brisbane and Sydney, which would only engender the bitterest feeling, with the spirit of cricket completely forgotten.” P. G. H. Fender declared be was glad that Marylebone had “ not only expressed the great faith wo all have in the English team’s cricket sportsmanship, hut added that there was no evidence of confidence being misplaced.’’
