CRICKET English Cricket Below Par
The Yorkshire Post comments: "Although it is pleasing to note the steady development in New Zealand cricket, it is disturbing to find England’s own standards remain at a comparatively low level. This season’s first class cricket has shown little improvement from last year, when the Australians swept through the country. There are two or three great players who would be outstanding in any age, but the difference between the Huttons, Compton.; and Evanses and the general average is far too great for complacency There is not one truly great bowler in English cricket, and, in many cases, the very elements of length and direction are woefully absent from it.
