THE BEST TEAM WON.

PRESS COMMENTS ON THE GAME. BRITISHERS AND AUSTRALIANS COMPARED. (Received Dec. 22, 9.15 a.m.) Sydney, December 22. The Sydney Morning Herald says that at no stage of the test match did the Australians look like losing the game. They batted, bowled and fielded better than the Englishmen. In recent years the English critics havo declared that they consider the only way a visiting team can hope for success against Australia is by sound defensive, rather than brilliant batting. The South Africans also adopted these tactics, but Australia won. But nine cut of the last cloven test niatches havo proved that enterprising batsmen, as represented by Australia, loso nothing by comparison with the British. Tho Daily Telegraph states that, considering tho English team was not representative, and that Warner was unable to play it can be congratulated on its good fight. If England hopes to win in Australia, sho In list send her best team, and it is open to argument even if her best team 'could win. The Englishmen may do better in the remaining matches!' "Many of them aro young players, and in the first test this is more serious for the Englishman than for the as cricket is sacred to the and no sport is sacred to Australians, who have no traditions to live up to.
