ADVERSE COMMENT ON THE GAME. Received 11.50 a.m. to-day. LONDON, June 19. The “Evening Standard” .states: Even the orthodox opening is disturbed by the miserable progress of the test trial at Lord’s. Colonel Trevor, in the “Daily Telegraph,” says that he is distinctly pained and the cricket-loving public is complaining bitterly. He thinks that ten and a half hours cricket on an easy pitch, with bowling of which nobedy thinks highly, ought to produce more than 551 runs for thirteen wickets. The batsmen, witli all the conditions in their favour, are not scoring more than 53 runs per hour, and are simply not trying to win in three days.
