BRITISH .BOWLING PROBLEM WILL TAKE SOME SOLVING, i “PLUM” WARNER’S OPINION. United Press Asan. b.v El. Tel. Copyright iAu»tralian Press Assn.: LONDON, Oct. 30. “Plum” Warner, . m the Morning Post, writes: “Tho total scores prove the excellency of the Adelaide Oval pitch and the impotence of the bowlers on both sides. Grimmett was the only one gaining any measure of success. J am glad six-ball overs will rule in the tests and I wish it had been the universal rule. I have not yet a howler, either English or Australian, preferring the. -eight-ball over. Unless they have altered' their onmions recently, leading Australian players are emphatically opposed to it. The problem of our bowling will, take, some solving. Tate niav make all the difference, but the scoring in the tests will probably, be very high It/ may turn out that the best strategy is to play as many batsmen as possible. It is satisfactory that hath Leyland and Mead came off, as their selection was a target for some criticism.”
