CRICKET.
OBTAINING PLAYERS FROM AUSTRALIA. ENGLISH CRITICS’ COMMENT. RI CABLE —PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. Received 10.30 a.m. to-dav. LONDON, Jan. 23. Tlie Observer’s cricketing critic comments: “That an English club'should be willing to take two internationals from Australia amounts to a cricketing crime. If we call ourselves sportsmen we cannot condone this filching. Such desertions should be made impossible. When Australia loses her best bowler, as in 2921, and now has her brightest young batsman lured away, Australians may begin to revise their opinion of British sportsmanship. Let us have done with such nefarious practices, which indicate that either England possesses little sportsmanship or is played out and has no home-grown material.”
