The Daily Telegraph’s cricket critic says: "If the English batsmen do not play file Australian spin bowling at Adelaide lietter than at Melbourne there is little prospect of an English victory, unless Jarjine counteracts the spin with a spin, risking hitting strength by replacing Larwood or J oee by Mitchell or Brown and Verity. The Daily Telegraph suggests that 'Tate should replace Bowes. “The scant use made of tin* great-hearted Sussex laiwler amounts almost to a boycott." it says. In demanding a strengthening of the batting it suggests that Paynter take first knock with Sutcliffe.
