Any chance the South Africans had of saving the match after the opening day’s errors disappeared in seven minutes this mborning, when Catterall foolishly ran Taylor out on an. impossible run. Catterall’s discomfiture was immediately completed when Tate skittled his wickets.

Deane played most confidently, and his effort was largely responsible for England having to bat again. Peeler' was shaping soundly, but threw awav his wicket in attempting a risky third run. This was the sixth suicidal incident of the game. . England’s only loss in the second innings was Hobbs, who played Blanckenberg on. The South Africans’ batting was occasionally as good as England s, but the bowling, fielding and catching were much inferior. LESSIONS OF THE TESTS.

_ v LONDON, July 16. . The Morning Post, editorially dealing with the tests, says: While admittmg that our representative batsmen and bowlers are better than in 1921, that year of humiliating disasters, we dare not yet hope that we have a side good enough to beat the strong Australian team. We require more effective change bowlers and a second fast bowler , There was a higher standard or fielding in - the remaining tests against, the South Africans, but we would like to see younger players with a future replace some of those with a past, of however a distinguished order. Our resources must be fully explored before the team going to Australia is completed.
