THE FIFTH TEST. AUSTRALIA’S CHANCES AIUCH BRIGHTER. (United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph Copyright.) (Australian Press Association.) LONDON, Alarcli 6. Clem Hill, writing in the “Daily Telegraph,” says that there is not much to choose between the test teams, but he considers Australia’s chances are much brighter in the fifth. If she wins the toss it will be six to four on her chance; if England wins the toss, it will lie live to four in her favour. The changed outlook is due first to the fact that ever since the. second test, the Australian batsmen have overcome Larwood; more important still, Australia, has gained two game young fighters in Jackson and Bradman and will have two opening bowlers capable of taking advantage of the. new hall. There- has been a Jot of talk concerning Alexander, but he has a lot to learn. At present he is a wild tehraway, about as last as Larwood, hut very erratic.
