CRICKET.
THE SOUTH AFRICAN TEAM. SY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT LONDON, June 15, The newspapers unanimously criticise Taylor’s judgment in sending England in when an overnight drying wind had been responsible for a good and improving wicket. The Despatch says that Taylor gambled that the recent rains would make the wicket sticky, but the pitch played easily from the start, resulting in the decision becoming a ' tragic blunder. Hobbs was always a complete master. Hendren was over-cautious, and apparently anxious to break the series of failures. —Sydney Sun Cable.
