THE PRESS ON THE MATCH. (Red. 12.50 a.m.) LONDON, Aug. 23. The Times says the Australians had the worst of luck and had played , a large. part of both innings under] very difficult conditions, but they ought to have done better than, they did in their second innings. Reviewing the tour,' it says that Australia had a consistent, sound -batsman in Bardsley, a fine batsman, Macartney is an attractive player and Jennings has a riojrged defence and so had Kelleway, but'the body and tail-were not to be depended upon. They had no' great bowler. The' Daily Mail say/- Australia was outplayed in every N department. Sporting Life says.that owing to unequal weather conditions for the game they had hardly satisfactory tests. The Sportsman says that possibly Australia had the worst of luck but her Batting and bowling were-scarcely,of the right quality for a. bad wicket.
